In this post you'll see how simple it is to use the From Contours tool from the Sandbox to create a sloped terrain. The following example deals with the entrance of a house with a garage on a sloped street—a classic case!

If needed, you can also use other basic drawing tools such as Arc. See the drawn outline below.
