rodhealydesign 0 Posted January 31, 2017 Hi guys I'm having some trouble with raising my structure above the terrain, as my house design will be raised up and have a deck around the house. I have attached an example of a house which I will be designing, and need to achieve the effect shown in the image. I have looked on knowledge base and training videos, but I'm not sure of the most efficient way to achieve this? Regards, Rod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPDesign 29 Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Rod you need to put a positive number in the terrain dbx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodhealydesign 0 Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Michael Thank you for your post. I have set this to 700mm, however is there a way I can display concrete (slab) underneath opposed to it just floating? As I will adjust the terrain slope, and the garage for example wont have a deck around the edge, so I will need to connect that to the ground so it's not in mid air. I appreciate your help.

jcaffee 109 Posted January 31, 2017 You need to build the structure that meets the ground. Here is an evolution of a design process. As I design/build more of the structure, then things start to appear "normal" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodhealydesign 0 Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Jon Thanks for the post. I understand the way you've done yours. I guess I will have to fill the gaps like you have done yours. Thanks again, Rod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rlackore 403 Posted January 31, 2017 Just build the foundation/crawl-space/basement. That will "fill in the gaps". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again, Rod It sounds as if you think Jon is giving you a work around. He is not. That gap that you see is you not building your foundation. That gap is your foundation. If you see a gap it is because you have not built foundation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge_Runner 127 Posted January 31, 2017 Nice design, Jon. I also like the 3D north arrow - nice touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
