DMJRestorations Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I don't exactly know how to ask this question. Image 3 and 4 show the home I designed sitting in its position on the lot. I have sculpted the terrain to match the actual lot. We will have to do some site preparation to level out the area where the home will sit, and when I try to manipulate my terrain by surrounding the home with elevation splines set at a height of 0", for some reason it creates a hill that devours my structure. Which is what you see in images 1 and 2. I am trying to research how to use terrain retaining walls, and how to best manipulate the terrain so that I can do this project correctly, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Using Chief Architect Premier X11. I would upload the file but it is over 25 MB even after deleting the structure.

Mark3D Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Try deleting the plants and trees then see if the file is smaller you will have made a mistake with terrain elevation data also you could try changing the layer colour for elevation data in floor plan view to some thing that stands out to help with trouble shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJRestorations Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 I’ve already tried that. Even when it is just the terrain and the elevation splines it is still at 29MB. surprises me... but it is. Adding retaining walls seems to be ineffective as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 You should be able to get it under 25MB by putting it in a zip file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJRestorations Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 I would be shocked if this worked, but here is the zipped file. Scott screwed up terrain.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJRestorations Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 yeah... says it contains no data... still working on figuring that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 File must be closed when uploading and for zipping I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Could you put the file on drop box or google drive and share a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark3D Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Here is a link to the file https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-2PrXmIBT6R9GQVJBMSIJpYegCPcdjZa you will see i just put elevation region set to zero to flatten the terrain under the building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Gets it close for me.................. not sure it is correct though as I don't know the "true height of the building... Not using automatic or using an elevation Region like Mark suggested is likely a better way to go... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
