5. Select the terrain model. As you can see, it is highlighted by a red box, which means that
it is locked. Right-click on it and choose the Unlock menu item. This makes the terrain

6. Right-click on it again and choose Explode. This removes the terrain from its grouping.
7. Now triple-click the box you created earlier and select Intersect Faces with Model from
the right-click menu.
8. This intersects the two objects so that you just have to remove the top portion (simply
erase the lines and faces) and you will be left with a clean solid terrain model.
9. You could leave the terrain as is, but, ultimately, we don’t need the thickness below the
terrain. Therefore, push the underside up as far as it will go.
10. Group the site object first so that you can start the Slicer plugin. Go with the settings
shown here (we want to get horizontal slices at 4f intervals).
