Hi Stephen,  

To get what you have described you would be better off using the Plateau tool as this gives a level area, slope, then level again. Start drawing it outside the terrain and finish outside too unless your upper level goes down again. Each time you draw a plateau it ADDS to the top of the previous one so you can make up a graduating slope. You may find these previous posts useful: http://forums.turbofloorplan.com/index.php/topic,895.0.html and http://forums.turbofloorplan.com/index.php/topic,803.0.html.  The subject is covered in a few other posts too if you do a forum Search on Plateau.

To get the grass just where you want it use the Fill tool. It will automatically follow the slope if necessary.
