Creating Retaining Walls in MudShark

Take a look at the video below, showcasing methods to create retaining walls in MudShark


Create complex Retaining walls using a combination of Structures and Trenches.

An example of a retaining wall, created using a trench + capping structure.

Establish the top and bottom of your wall separately.

Separating the top and bottom of your wall into trench and capping structure gives you complete control over your walls shape.

Trench / Bottom of Wall: We start by creating a trench profile, defining the width of the wall/trench then input as usual.

Capping Structure / Top of Wall: We then create structure boundaries at the altitude of the top of our wall, be sure to utilize the SHIFT to SNAP method to replicate the trench’s shape.


Be sure to inspect your site in 3D to verify results.
