It removes the marked terrain surface rather than constructing cave walls or a ceiling. Add the entrance geometry and its required collision deliberately, and use surrounding rock geometry to hide undesirable mask-edge aliasing if needed. [3]\n\nIn the cited Unity 6.0 workflow, URP projects must enable Terrain Holes in the URP Asset for holes to remain in a build. A custom terrain material also needs to honor the hole mask. Confirm both the editor view and a representative build rather than treating an editor opening as sufficient evidence.
