In an area I am working in they define a half story as a gable, hip, or gambrel roof where two exterior opposite wall plates are not more than three feet above the floor. Client wants a rooftop deck. I've seen a couple homes where it appears they cut out to do this but wanted to get some ideas and opinions on this? My fear is it may be a big problem over time.

I have a terrain that has about a 75' elevation change from road. Is it best for me to make the road 0 and the higher point +75' or 0' the top where it is relatively flat and -75' for the road or does it matter? Don't know if program wise interpolation is faster one way or another? Should terrain elevation data always be on floor 0?

With a plan with multiple structures, is there a way to select the floor of a given structure without having to select each room?

I started getting the attached message for a while it was working and unfortunately didn't catch what started the cause of this to undo. All of my walls should be icf but there are a bunch of retaining walls. I tried changing from regions to lines but that did not fix and the slope wasn't reflective. I tried to remove all elevation regions but the same message. Any idea what could be causing. I also am wondering if there is a way to slim the file down in size. It is about 14 mb which I don't know if that is a big file? 2024-03-05 0819a.zip
