I am not talking about natural terrains like hills or mountains. I am talking about structures, platforms with stairs etc

Copy some random bridge(any will work). Then replace the model with Wall End Low.
Voila, you have a square platform.

Don't forget to remove pathing or use the one that circle of power has.

Overall, Wall End Low is a very versatile model. If you use it as a doodad you can resize it into a tile by making it low, or wall by making it high.
Bookshelves can be used as wooden walkways.

The upper left corner of the attached map is an example.

There is only wall end short in doodad list

But what if i wanted to have different model? i cant find wall models in hiveworkshop

Also cant i make more versatile platforms than square?

Why isnt there default platforming tools and need to resort to gimmicks when building walls?

I'm not really sure why it has been made so hard. Probably blizzard simply didn't care to think of this possibility.
For now using stuff like bridges/invisible platforms/alpha tile/city cliffs is the best that can be done.
