How do you make a terrain map completely flat? Im trying to make a city type game but its hard to put the road down when the terrain is all jagged. Even though its just on plains there is terrain still sticking out all over the place and i cant align two roads together when the terrain keeps doing this. I want to have mountains but i haved decided to just add to the terrain i already did. Also, the game is gonna be desert themed so i want the flat terrain to be sand too. Do you know how to make it completely flat?
You would have to be very careful and precise, but there is a tool that you can use to make the terrain flatten. It would take a long time though.

Whenever I make a new game, it turns out flat. You could also just use a baseplate.

My favorite method is not to use the flattening tool, it’s not very effective. I select the subtract tool, set it to a cube shape, adjust the individual sizes, and then use the tool but clicking, holding, and dragging the brush around the desired map. It’s very quick and very effective. Make sure your grid is flattening in the direction you want, i.e. the camera is at a bird’s eye view.

I don’t know what method you’re using, but it doesn’t sound very useful. My method won’t take a long time as it flattens the terrain within seconds. You don’t have to be careful or precise.
The fill tool is neither easier nor is it faster than other methods. It’s hard to set up with it’s click-and-drag and only works with square areas among other issues. A perfect cube is near impossible; it’s not precise and you’ll wind up with a rectangular prism.

Thank you both for your answers! They were really helpful to me! Although it will take a while to map my full map smooth it would be worth it because trying to align the roads together will take a million times longer

There is a better soulution that you just use select a area and use fill tool on it so a perfect cube of terrain in any size you want will appear. Easier and Faster

Ok thank you for your response! Ill try that!
Actually, I use the import tool for something like this. If I want flat terrain, I just use a white picture. Just solid white. I’ve linked something to this reply if you don’t understand what I’m talking about.
This works for water and normal terrain like rocks and grass.

All you need to do click the plugin, and then you click on what material you want, and then you should just click on the part you have made, and then it should make the part terrain. then its flatter than you have ever seen.
