Hello,

 

Trying to do a walk out on the left side of this house.. I have 4 Elevation splines drawn at 1034, 1040, 1050,  1060, and 1068... As well as a flat region.. What is the spike in the terrain? And the Flat region is not affecting the terrain as it should... X6 File..

 

Thanks

BTW,  what I noticed on this plan is Rashid is using some FLAT REGIONS,  a FLAT REGION? What the heck is that?  I have never used one.

 

What is a FLAT REGION?  Well,  it does not have a defined elevation,  I have not fully investigated it,  but why would someone use a FLAT REGION in lieu of a ELEVATION REGION.

 

With a ELEVATION REGION,  you can defined the elevation of region,  with a FLAT ELEVATION REGION you cannot define the elevation.  So why use one in lieu of the other.

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

From the X6 Reference manual:

 

Elevation Regions are similar to Flat Regions 
in that they produce an area with a flat
surface; however, they differ in that an
Elevation Region affects the contours of the 
terrain outside of its perimeter and may also
have some sloping within its perimeter.

Scott.. I was wondering why there were no elevation options... Soooo many variations of tools in Chief (More dimension types than any other program I have used)... Enough to be dangerous... So it is Elev regions only from here on...

 

Any idea why the splines seem to have no effect on the terrain... ?

 

Thanks

Okay Robert,  so you have to go to the reference manual to find out how it works...   now that I think of it,  it's a darn good approach.

 

But Robert,  I have not looked into this yet......  but suppose you put a FLAT REGION across multiple elevation lines.......  do you think the FLAT REGION takes the average elevation of the elevation lines.........  nuts,  I suppose I should read the manual....
