My post says quite clearly that I'm aware that the product doesn't output SVG files. It's thrilling that you have twenty years of experience with the product and have never used a SVG file, but have a specific use case that I explained. I asked for help with "getting to" a SVG file using other products.

I use Home Designer primarily for creating floorpans for use in a home automation application. There is a plugin that offers great functionality, but relies on SVG files. I realize there is no SVG export from Home Designer Pro so I'm trying to find a path (import/export using multiple apps) that gets me there, even if it's a bit more work. I need to export a dollhouse view, not just the plan view. Example below.
I've researched, have access to the Adobe suite, and haven't figured it out. It may not be possible, but before I give up I thought I'd ask here. If there's a way to do this using Chief Architect I'd consider upgrading. Thanks.

The way I do my edging and patio's is with driveways in the terrain section in roads & sidewalks. Once I have it drawn, I make it the material I want for the edging. Then I will transform/replicate it on the Z axis 1/16" and use the resize option to decrease the size. I then make the new layer the patio material, or terrain in your case, and fine tune the border edge I want, usually 4". I hope this helps?
Thanks, Keith. I thought about copying/resizing after I posted, but it seemed like a lot of trial and error to get the sizing right. The detail you provided worked perfectly. Appreciate it!

Is it possible to apply edging to a terrain path or terrain feature? I would like to apply cobblestone edging to the driveway and a thin black edging to the exterior of the walkways. I read on another thread that it's possible to do this with a slab or kitchen counter, but I'd rather not redraw the terrain.
I'm using Home Designer Pro 2023 (need to update my signature) on a 2021 MacBook Pro with 64gb of RAM.
Getting to a SVG file

Thanks for the suggestion, Robborito. Instead of trying every conversion permutation it’s helpful to start where someone has had success. I ended up with a decent SVG, but couldn’t get find a way to end up with color.
I’ll continue to use graphic exports from the software and skip the SVG plug-in for the other application I’m using until something changes.
