If there is a hill on a model, whit’s thee difference between choosing contours or not? Does that mean the hill side will be smooth, unlike contours?
Thanks
Where are you seeing this question?
Do you have a screenshot?
It’s really 2 questions - does no contour eliminate elevation lines and give a smooth elevation rise??
Also in this project there are roads in the prepare tab, but in the preview tab, they are not seen. Not sure if related to contour lines or if there is a problem printing roads on a hill.

Your link doesn’t work.
Also, I still do not know if you are referring to something in Bambu Studio (I am not sure what, as I have not spotted that term) or a different product.
Again, can you provide a screenshot of where you see the phrase contour?
So, contours is your word and not one in any application.
The contours specifically relate to your model.
It appears to be the same situation as the person I answered a while back.
The roads are missing because there is too much scale, with the roads appearing far too small.
You may get a better output if you change the option for Wall Generator to Arachne in the Quality tab.
Your overall issue may simply be that the model is large and the details are fine.
Oops. Yes, Blender is what I use to edit before sending to Bambui. I am able to extrude roads, buildings, topography to any thickness. It’s odd that the model looks fine in Prepare, then the roads disappearing during Prepare but not in Preview.
I’ll try your suggestion.
Thanks.
The prepare view show you the model as you designed.
The prepare tab shows the result of all your slicing choice and the reality of those choices.
If your model is designed with 0.05mm layer heights and you print with 0.2mm layers, you will have one layer equal to the average of four designed layers.
The same goes for x and y axis details.
You could swap in a 0.2mm nozzle and print with much finer detail, it will take far longer, but the results will be better.
