Hi Rick,

You could use a floor (by Picking Points) works the same way except it has a thickness, which can be useful and it can be eleveted  -  in fact you will probably have to lower it!  It will prompt you that you should not be planting grass on a wooden floor but who cares if it does the job.

There is a problem however in using the floor instead - it does not follow the slope of the terrain as the fill does.  If you are not using a sloping terrain then you will be OK.

The TFP lanscape tools will do the job....but it takes reading the help file and "playing" with each tool to get a feel for how they work.

also look here (search that forum for landscape or terrain or retaining or similar related words):
