yes, that is more real life, I understood it to be a 3D solid, which is why I commented probably the better option. I dont need a footing, but that is interesting. Did you just pull down the footing (if so I suppose the footing could be set to the same width). Ultimately what I was trying to do was while I was adjusting the terrain, the wall would come along with it, but keep the bottom (below the terrain flat). Ironically in the end for this project, the terrain region was almost flat, so a 3D solid with a terrain break would have worked just fine. But it did get me thinking for the next one how could I do it dynamically. For this one I just put in a CAD box masking the ugly below the terrain terrain retaining wall, and for the moment, have yet to step the bottom. But I had to send it off Thursday so it went like that.. (...the workaround 3rd option..which is not my preference going forward)

It looks when I made the, change to the bottom, only the bottom check box deselects. The top remains checked. If I move the terrain down say 20", the top still moves with the terrain but the bottom does not. see below But is there a better option? A solid would needs its top changed to match the terrain, and in thinking about it maybe that is better as one could step the solid like a real wall, and if the terrrain moved up and down as a whole, the solid would move with it, maintaining the bottom of the wall. ...per usual... a couple options...each with their benefits and drawbacks

also interesting OOTB has footing...good to know

actually if one uses the red handle to move to the right, it can be done in 3 moves

one by one would be painful:

I was pondering this, but then the top of the wall will have to be conformed to follow the terrain? But given I suppose most times this will be flatter, easier I'm not that good with the polyline tools, but maybe an option is to create a fence, or line or something beneath the terrain retain wall, and invoke one of the CAD/3D solid tools to have to extend to meet the line?

test plan attachedterrain test 1.plan

Terrain retaining wall bottoms seem to follow the curve of the terrain on the low side of the wall. Is there a method to show a horizontal bottom. I am trying to show it in elevation view and it currently looks like kind of ugly. I tried a normal wall but it has a flat top Two of them are shown below. bottom one shows the issue:

re-build the terrian

The renewal is not tied to a release. the SSA also includes support, If you are thinking of it based on released version, then I suggest you think of it as 6 months on X16 and 6 months on X17

I think I saw in a post for this same issue, is to resend to layout. For me, I just do plot lines because of this issue

but .... it moved the windows so they are actually the same distance to the walls, where the original were not. so a possible improvement!! ..of course it could be the widows were off centre on purpose...chatGPT needs a list of things it changed, so one could evaluate if its suggestions are "better" maybe if you asked it . "Please list changes you made to walls and windows", it would actually tell you ...and the reason why..if you asked ...or maybe he needs to explicitly state, and please do not change window sizes or locations...

geez, interior designers just got a whole lot more efficient ....or maybe just more work, as now there are a lot more possibilities

I think I saw that in another post, put in the invisible walls, generate the roof, remove the walls. Thanks @glennwthis:: invisible room only needs to encroach on the large room as far as it meets the valleys on either side. are the tidbits on information that even if I was to do it once, I usually forget the next time. ...now when I search the forum I will sometimes search by my name to try and remember the ones I know I asked about but do not remember the answer!

ok thanks, good to know its not available automatically. For this house I am actually using a roof baseline polyline (I saw a video by rene, and thought, wow that is a quick way to fix up the roof after the auto build is done), so I was really hoping as well, that somehow modifying the roof baseline polyline somehow would make the roof connect to the main roof. But no luck ...so far
