use 2d shape! that tool rules for making own 3d shapes... if you take a look on my DM-Island of ruins you will see that it has lots of complicated forms that normally would be buid out of 5-10 brushes with adding/substracting... i used most time 2d shape and got then only 1 brush for each thing... for example the island shapes are 1 brush in 2 shape you have a triangel where you build your shapes of... click right mouse button on a side of the angel and make insert vertex to give your object more vertex points... then you can move any point and form it to your 2d cut of your 3d object... under the upper menu in 2d shape you find loft. with this you make your 2d shape to 3d in rune editor (it turns to a red brush then) you have the following options there: sheet (makes a sheet out of your shape) revolve (rotates yourshape to a pilarform) extrude (makes a normal brush out of it like a cube only in your shape) extrude to point (makes kind of pyramid out of your shape bevel (this is a tricky option wich turns your shape to a 3d trapezium, really cool for shrines where your weapons lie on) for cool floors like sand dunes you can use floorlofter, what is more experimental and builds often uncomplete shapes with holes in it or use terra edit: www.zaphirs.dk/teststuff/outdoortutorial/you can build the craziest floors and hills with it... and thats very easy...
