say it aint so...

Can I really not copy a terrain from one plan file to a next?  Also, can I not even copy and paste within the same plan file to a different floor? 

 

...if thats the case I am flabbergasted on so many levels.  I'm hoping I am wrong.

Rest easy...me thinks it aint so.

 

You should be able to do both of those.  You just need to take the extra steps of converting the "Special Polyline" back to a "Standard Polyline" and then converting that to a Terrain Perimeter. 

 

Oh ya, one more thing...probably goes without saying, but just in case... You need to make sure you cut or copy all the elevation data along with the terrain perimeter.

Remember that you only get one terrain per plan. Which is too bad.

If you use the SAM method, it's already there for you.

You can copy a terrain perimeter to the library for reuse in other plans.

If you already have a terrain in the plan, the library terrain comes in as a plain polyline - and yes, only one terrain perimeter per plan. 

To move a terrain perimeter to another floor, select it, copy it (just copy, not paste).

Delete the original, change floors and paste or paste hold position.

Thanks guys...being able to save the terrain to library makes my main problem go away.
