pgjacob Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi All I have a plan where I am putting several buildings on a hilly terrain. Most of these buildings are floating. I have tried the uncheck automatic automatic building pad. Any advice? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If I understand correctly. You'll need to adjust your floor heights to get what you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgjacob Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks, that's what I was beginning to do. Except now my buildings are TALL. I want a overall height of about 200". Floor is at -1060. So are ceiling heights relative or absolute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgjacob Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yes I am a dummy. I see now the dialog for absolute and relative. But I am putting what I think should be the answer and I still get a tall building. Floor (C) absolute is at -1050. And I want a 200" tall building (F)= 200". So Absoute Ceiling (B) is -850. So I should have a building on the terrain (which is at -1050) and bee 200" tall I think. BUt I get this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgjacob Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks, I had a second floor on the structure somehow. So I started over and did as suggested and it works now. No more levitating objects... thanks as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Melissa: I prefer to keep each building in a separate plan and then create the building as a 3D symbol and store in the library then create a master site plan and place the building symbols as needed Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanswim Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Lew- Could you expand on your suggestion, perhaps in a separate thread? I am trying to do a plan of a small hamlet's downtown area, and am finding it difficult to work with just 3 or 4 separate buildings, and the perspective overviews are cumbersome. I have read the Knowledge Base instructions on how to create a subdivision and am going to try that, but am wondering if you have any additional tips and/or suggestions based on your experience. Thank you for all your helpful posts in the past. Steve L. Callicoon, NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
