exercise 4.4: work with Barriers
In this exercise you will create a sound wall to serve as a sound and visual bar-
rier to shield the residential area to the west of the industrial park. You will also
use a barrier with a 3D model style to create a small wind farm along a ridge
located west of the industrial park. You will visualize this wind farm from the
location where travelers enter the town from the south. The intention of this
visualization will be to determine the visual impact of the wind farm.
If you are continuing from the previous exercise, you can skip to step 3.
