Hello everyone and thanks for all your help. Mark3D helped me with it and was able to get my house facing in the right direction. I can now show the landscaper what I want. Cheers and thanks to all.

Hi. I don't think I have got zoom. I'll go see if I can get it. I can look tomorrow if that's okay.

Hi glennw. That sounds really complicated. It's going to take a while to process that and figure it out. I really don't think I can do it though. Thanks anyway.

Hi Mark3D, I've tried putting the house on that DWG plan but I can't line it up with the driveway. It is supposed to be parallel to the driveway and in line with it from the western side. Here's the link to the plan. I can't find the handle to rotate it. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Are-_sUztG_A3zNiSItyhAs_NA6n?e=an0Die

Thanks so much glennw, John_Charles, jasonN, DavidJPotter, solver and Mark3D, for your advice and tips on where I put my terrain,sig and tutorials, how to show my plan, and what it looks like in a dwg. I don't know how my terrain ended up on the framing set. I'm working on the tutorials now. Thanks Mark3D for helping me out by putting the dwg on the plan for me. Giving it a go now. I'll update on my progress! Cheers. Coralie

Thanks solver. I just fixed it. Things have changed a lot since I was here last.

Hi. Not sure what you mean. I can't see my signature in the post but my profile says x9?

I couldn't upload the file even in a zip. But here is the link. Does this work? https://1drv.ms/u/s!Are-_sUztG_A3zJ-jac6Md0Wf7Ig?e=rlJaZR

Hello. This is a plan of my house and I can't work out how to create a sloping block. In fact, I can't even see the terrain on my plan view to even try. It shows up on my overall perspective view though. I know the house model isn't perfect as I couldn't get the roof planes to join, but it is pretty close. I'm now trying to work on the landscaping side of things. I have landscapers coming in August to start moving earth around and build retaining walls and such, and I thought I would try to give them some pictures from my model on what I wanted. However, I can't get the terrain happening. The house is elevated on poles and the block starts at the top in front of the house and slopes down about 15 metres I think to the end. There is a flat pad out the front for the driveway, and a flat pad underneath the house. I am attaching the dwg ( which I can't open) and I think this shows the contours on my plan. I can't upload my plan as it is too big. It is in my One Drive. Do I provide a link to that or is there some other way to upload it here? I'm sorry, I can't remember how all of this works very well. If anyone would be able to put the contours into my plan I would really appreciate it. Thanks Lot 8.dwg

That looks good too Greg_NY61. I will give it a go. Cheers Coralie

Thanks David, I will go around and check out all the default settings as you suggested. Cheers Coralie

Thanks solver, I'm working on it and will let you know what happens. I went around and checked the pitches and think I've got them right now. Cheers Coralie

Hi. I have a roof design that isn't quite working at the moment and I'm not sure how to proceed. I've drawn my gables over the main areas where I want them, I don't know whether to add more of them or not. I have a section through the middle and I don't really know what type of roof t put there. The main gable roof along the back won't join with the flatter section beside it. The height of the main living area is 5000 mm. The trusses and roof are protruding into the rooms beside it, but I dont really know what to do about this, Can anyone help with this design please? Thanks. Wongawallan_Road.plan

Thanks so much.

Voila!

Hi, I went and deleted those roof planes and started again from scratch. Thanks solver and Chopsaw for all your help.

Yeah I see what you mean. Problem is that when I try to centre them I cannot join it to the other roof plane below it without losing the new centering. I'm also not really sure that that flat area is the best way to go for the roof. the main gables I have put in place, but I'm a bit stuck on how to design the rest of the roof.

Thanks. I turned on the camnera view set and then went through and turned on every framing display apart from trusses and when I hit sill plate it turned up. Yay. Now I can see them, but they are uneven. I tried centering them, but that didn't work. Do you know how to even them up?

Hi this is what I have. I can see them when I turn the camera to framing set, but not in regular camera mode.

It comes up in active layer dispaly options near the library browser. Is that what you mean?

Hi I tried the All On layer set. As far as I can see all the framing is set to display. I'm not sure how to check what layer it is on. How do I do that? Thanks.

Do you mean in the tools-layer settings-display? I checked the framing- roof trusses options there. Or is there somewhere different? Plan is attached now. Wongawallan_Road.plan

Sorry, the plan I uploaded locked up for some reason. Trying again.

Hi. I just tried to create some exposed trusses in the main living area by following along with the tutorial in Chief. However they aren't displaying in a 3D view. I don't really understand what was meant by changing the base plate in the tutorial. perhaps that is it. could someone please look at my plan and see where I'm going wrong? Thanks.

LOL!
