vonlost Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Newbie with Essentials 2019 on iMac. The house is fine, it all works. Now for landscaping. The fence is fine, shows in 3D. I added Terrain Perimeter, shows in 2D, not 3D, but that seems okay. I opened Terrain Specification, selected Materials/Terrain/Dirt/OK, but nothing changes in 2D or 3D, no dirt shows. For 3D Camera I removed backdrop, no background color, turned on Generate Sky/Haze, looks good in 3D, just no dirt. I'm obviously missing a step to get the dirt to appear. What is the trick? I expected the dirt to hide the foundation, appearing at the bottom of the fence, Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 In your 3D view Layer Set, is the Terrain Perimeter layer checked to Display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonlost Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Yes, that was it, thanks. I have suggested that the appropriate Display box should be automatically checked when adding a feature in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 If you are in a view (2D or 3D) and you create an object with it's layer not displaying, Chief will ask you if you want to display that layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonlost Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks, but I'm an amateur Home user, so don't get that feature. I posted here by mistake above, and then in Home, re mr solver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
