Tool to flatten land

I once saw someone use a tool (large flat prim) to change the land it was held over to a uniform level plane. I know how to lower and raise land with the land editing tool, but can never get it as flat and uniform.

Is there a trick to doing this or can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of this tool. I have several adjacent plots that I would like to terraform into one uniform plane.

Hi Arch

I am going out for lunch, but when I get back, if no one has passed you anything by then, I can drop a tool I made for personal use on you - its kinda fun, since you can ride it around as it flattens.

IM me in world.

This script also comes in the box of "free" scripts that is sold in Yadni's junkyard. I can drop a copy this evening, if you can't get hold of that other fellow.

You don't need a land leveling tool if all the plots are joined.

Just fire up the 'about land' panel. When this pops up, the whole land is selected.
Leave this panel open, then open the land control tools (ctrl-5).
Then select one of the land options. In this case 'flatten land'
Hit the 'apply to selection' button a few times.
It should affect the whole area.

Thank you Cottonteil for demonstrating this to me in SL. That works much better then the way I was trying to do it.
