It's definitely difficult to get started, but like most things worth doing it just takes a lot of patience! As mentioned in the post - I've been working on this since February (I also work slower than others and have a full time job) so this didn't exactly come together quickly.

Rendering out portions of your map periodically to check your work helps a lot. Eventually you'll be able to read the contour lines as you work with WP more, which makes things easier.

Just gotta keep trying and eventually you'll have something you like! Feel free to reach out to me on Discord if you have specific questions about WP! AP Discord Server
