Great idea.

Steve, Here's your plot plan. It's in Chief X9 Beta. You can delete the box house I drew on it. The Audio/Video layer has the image of your PDF locked on it. You can turn this off/on. A copy of the initial plot plan and image (minus the elevation data are on a CAD detail named "PLOT". On the plan I added a terrain large enough to include the roadway, then drew elevations 2140', 2132', 2130', 2120', 2110', & 2100'. The 10's are in blue E/L line type. The 2132' is red. Chief's then drew in the 2' natural gradients which closely approximate the lot's fall, but if you want, you can copy and past the 2132' elevation over any of the other PDF elevations and then adjust the spline, adding break points as necessary to get the proper curves. Remember to open the line and re-enter the correct elevation for any new locations you add. I've drawn a 3 sided fence around the perimeter, a road with a cul-de-sac and for fun I dropped in some trees. I drew a 1st floor box set of walls so that I could look at the elevation in 3d. Without the box chief wings it and you'll need a lot of luck to find an empty terrain in 3d view. If you take this plan, unlock the Audio/Video, select all, and open the transform/replicate object tool, you can rotate everything 158d3'0" (enter that in the rotate angle box.) This will rotate the lot so that it is facing downward and everything you draw is parallel to the N68d03'0"E front property line. Meaning the house will directly face the road. I've shown this in the PLOT cad detail. you can practice there first. Once you are done drawing the house, you can place a footprint on the PLOT cad detail (turn off the Audio/Video layer) rotate the footprint to match up with the plot plan shown at the true angle, turn on all elevation details and you will have a good representation to place on your layout pages. I've included some isometric views of the lot and a zipped file of the plan. Let me know if this works for you. MCC28.zip
