Digs in
A copy can carve its own spot into the terrain instead of standing on top, and it re-carves as it moves.
A fig standing on a hillside stands on the surface by default. The Ground row on its organizer form gives it the other option: dig in, like a house set into a slope. Tap the fig on the Figs tab to open the form.
Sits on top, or digs in
- Sits on top: the ordinary state. The copy stands on whatever the land does beneath it.
- Digs in: the copy carves a flat pad into the terrain and settles into it. The hillside meets its walls instead of poking through its floor.
The carve belongs to the copy. Drag it somewhere new and it carves a fresh spot there, and the land heals behind it. Erase the copy and the hill is whole again.
How deep
With Digs in on, the How deep row appears:
- Level: flush with the land around it.
- One down: one step into the ground, a sunken patio.
- Two down: two steps down, a cellar with the roof at lawn height.
Where it applies
Digging in is for copies standing on the world’s terrain, so it sits out for standees, wall-mounted pieces, framed sheets, and interior rooms. It pairs with Cliff terraces: carve the hillside, then let each building dig its own flat spot.
Dug-in copies re-settle whenever the land changes, so reshaping a landform never leaves a house floating or buried.
