Landscape Blocks
Click each corner of a bed, a terrace or a step, and it stands as a solid block with its own height, its base level and a finish on each part. A path shaped block can flow its paving along the bend.
Every property, and what it does
Select a block and these are its rows.

| Height | How tall the block stands. | Metres, 0.05 and up |
| Base elevation | Where its base sits, above or below the ground. | Metres |
| Follow path | Flows the top's texture along a curved path, so paving follows the bend instead of a straight grid. Best for path shaped blocks. | On or off |
