Digs in

Set a placed fig to dig its own flat spot into the land instead of standing on top.

Use the Ground row on a placed fig’s page to set whether the fig stands on raised land or digs into it. Tap the fig on the Figs tab to open its page.

Ground

  • On top: the fig stands on the land as it is beneath it.
  • Digs in: the fig carves a flat pad into the land and is set into it. The hillside meets its walls and does not come through its floor.

Drag the fig to a new spot and it carves a new pad there. The old pad is filled in. Remove the fig and its pad is filled in.

How deep

With Digs in on, a How deep row appears:

  • Level: flush with the land around it.
  • One down: one step into the ground.
  • Two down: two steps down.

Where it applies

The row shows for figs standing on the world’s land. Standees, pieces hung on a wall, sheets on the lens, and interior worlds do not have it. On cliff terraces, each building digs its own flat spot.

A dug-in fig carves again when you move it, rotate it, or resize it, so the pad always matches where it stands.
