No, thank you - the hole action was a perfect fix,
because the 'padio' is not considered a foundation object the land was not deforming around it,
cutting a whole was the perfect solution.
I am trying to figure out the right order to building a padio with retaining walls and above ground railings. In have my terrain set to automatic elevation and my ground floor set to -38". Not sure if that was the proper way to set up. Perhaps this is the source of my problems? Thanks for any help!
