    Abstract: A method and system provide the ability to design a terrain surface. A triangular surface mesh representative of an existing surface is obtained and consists of triangles that are connected by vertices and edges. A drain intention is specified for the terrain surface through a geometry that is a point or line. The drain intention defines a drainage flow that influences a shape of the terrain surface. The mesh is modified using a Voronoi diagram that prevents a drain conflict between mesh triangles. A drain direction is autonomously determined a for each of the mesh triangles based on the drain intention. The determination generates a drain pattern that is used to shape the terrain surface.
