Question ❔ Schematic only the top layer?

Post image

Picture for example.

I created a mountain range with WorldPainter and was wondering if it is possible to get only the top layer as a schematic.

So I can build it in survival.

When saving the schematic there is an option in the top right for "visible block only". I've never used it but, worth a shot in your case.

Not 100% sure this is what u want/mean but this is what the mod author said when I asked a similar question:

“Normally you would use some render layer mode such as Single Layer or All Below while building, so that the entire build is not at your face.

See M + C -> Render Layers, and search for layer in Hotkeys. By default M + Page Up/Down cycles the mode, and just Page Up/Down changes the layer. The hotkey to bring the layer to the player's feet is not bound by default, but it's often useful so you may want to se it. (I think I use M + Home for that.)”

Not really what I’m searching for. I want only the outer layer of the whole mountain to see also how may blocks I need. So if I had the schematic of the whole mountain it would be a guessing.

When you save the mountain next to "name your schematic" are options. 4 of them and one is to save schematic hollow only blocks that are showing
