ACADuser Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Current project has a detached garage and a sloped site. The owner wants to raise the main house by 12". Currently the main house first floor is at zero. Should I lower the site & garage by 1 foot? I have had trouble moving the house vertically in the past as some objects are tied to absolute elevation. Are there any tricks to change all the site & elevation lines down one foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution robdyck Posted August 15, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 15, 2022 Never move the main building, move the terrain. With terrain, up is down and down is up (just like using a builder's level on site). Open the terrain perimeter and add 12" to its elevation. Then move the garage down 12". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would of been my suggestion as well , things can get hard/crazy to work with when the Main Floor is not at 0" Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
