CBRF23 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Is there any way to raise a retaining wall so that it extends above the terrain, and add a top cap to the wall? I've got my retaining walls, they follow the grade pretty well, but I can't find the option to control height above grade on the retaining wall. I want to create something like the attached image.

solver Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Have you tried selecting the wall in elevation and dragging it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Terrain Retaining Walls just don't work very well for this configuration. The best way I know of is to draw it as a Railing Wall then open the dbx and Set it to a Solid Wall Add a Top Rail (maybe a 3x12 "Handrail") Adjust the Railing Height in the Newels/Balusters Tab Click "Foundation Wall" in the Foundation Tab Set the Materials as desired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Most times I find it easier to use a Terrain Break along with a normal wall or railing. A normal wall or railing is a lot easier to control than a terrain retaining wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
