Thank you for fixing me up! I didn't think to check the elevation of each line, but I can see how having one set to 0 would cause a spike. It looks like you didn't need any terrain breaks after trimming the elevation lines? Sorry about the confusion, I updated my signature specs.

I have recently been using the import dwg wizard to import survey files with their elevation lines to help create my terrains. It usually works with only a few hiccups, but with my recent attempt the plan includes retaining walls. I've traced these walls with Chiefs retaining walls and even added terrain breaks along them but am still getting massive terrain spikes at the walls. I'm trying to figure out how to clean this up. I've already watched many help videos on the subject, but none of them seem the address this particular issue. Hopefully eventually creating terrain will be more user intuitive since this task is usually my biggest time suck while using the program! Any help this community could offer would be appreciated.

That was way too easy. Thank you DBCooper!

I am working on designing a house addition in Chief Architect x14. I started by drawing the existing house, then imported the CAD site survey topographic data, and am currently drawing the addition. I've been using Chief Architect for over 10 years, but this is my first time importing the topographic information. Importing the topo info went very smooth and it apparently automatically adjusted to the 1st floor height. The issue I'm having is that grass is showing up in the addition. I've searched for this issue in past discussions and can't find a video that addresses this issue. Can anyone help with this?

I'm working on a kitchen and have a projectile coming through the ceiling in the standard and vector renderings causing a full shadow on the wall cabinets. I've checked the roof planes, etc. to try and determine what the cause is but can't find anything. Please help! weird shadows.zip
