Stepping Stones

Draw the line, path or closed outline in the main editor first, then choose Stepping Stones in the Hardscape Add panel. Select the prepared outline when the canvas asks for it. With one compatible shape already selected, the wizard can open directly. The wizard opens a full-window workspace with a preview; it does not ask you to draw inside an inspector sidebar.

In Stone Style, choose an offered Geometric or Organic style, then set its shape, dimensions and Stone Surface. Fill Opacity controls the plan appearance where offered.

In Layout, use Spacing or Count as offered, then inspect the number of stones shown. Start Offset and Lateral Offset move the layout relative to the path, and Orientation controls the stone direction.

For a closed boundary, enable Fill area with stones. Choose a Fill Pattern and its offered grid, ring or density controls. Edge Inset keeps the layout away from the boundary. These controls differ from those for an open route.

Use Along Path, Across Path, Rotation Jitter and Scale Range only when you want variation. Reroll changes the variation arrangement. Check spacing and stone overlap in the preview before applying.

Use Back and Next to inspect the wizard settings and preview. Correct any validation message before applying. Apply on the final step creates or updates the object; Cancel leaves without applying the current wizard draft.

Select the placed object to use the Inspector’s available editing controls. Whole-object wizard settings and individual Structure editor member edits are different operations. Reapplying a wizard can ask how to handle existing member edits; read that choice before confirming. In the Structure editor, Done keeps member edits and Cancel attempts to undo available changes back to entry.
