WhistlerBuilder Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Hello helpful designers, I was wondering if anyone had a clean way to deal with terrain grading for an underground parkade entrance? I have tried a variety of configurations over the years and it always ends up being a super messy process with lots of terrain points and breaks while still creating lots of visual glitches. The terrain always wants to slide up in front of the garage door, and the breaks on retaining walls always bleed through. I am looking for a way to extend the "terrain intersected by building" break to include a descending driveway "room", and then cheat the driveway with a 3d solid set at the desired grade. But I cannot figure out how to get it to apply properly. I am open to suggestions if someone else has a cleaner solution. Image and sample plan attached. Thank you in advance to anyone who might have a solution to this. Cheers, Parkade Entrance.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution DBCooper Posted June 5 Solution Share Posted June 5 Select your terrain perimeter. Use the "make terrain hole around building" tool. Edit shape as needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So easy... now I feel silly. I did not even know there was a tool to edit that. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talock Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Hello WhistlerBuilder, after using the hole in terrain tool how/where did you enter the elevation data? My project has the terrain is one floor one and the parking garage is on floor zero. Because of that I have not been able to figure how to get the elevation data to work as there is not terrain on floor 0. I would appreciate any insight to this. Thank you!

WhistlerBuilder Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 @talockSorry for the late reply. I had similar issues in the past. I have recently been using floor 0 as the footing layer, floor 1 as foundation layer including below grade parking, then the first above grade floor would be floor 2. I put the terrain on floor 1 (parkade) layer. Sorry for the slow reply. I am not on this forum often and just took a week off for summer holiday.
