Rashid_Garuba Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 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..

rlackore Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Delete the Elevation Region near the corner of the Bath and Bedroom 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Front left corner of house there is a terrain region with a defined elevation, delete it and all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashid_Garuba Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 How did you guys find that so quickly??.. Must have drawn it accidentally?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashid_Garuba Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just did a Shift_Select and I surely didn't draw all those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 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.

rlackore Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 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.

Rashid_Garuba Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

rlackore Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So it is Elev regions only from here on... Look at this plan view. There are times you may want to use a Flat Region rather than an Elevation Region: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
