Actually, I figured it out i.e.: how to create the lower level, fix the garage level and roof. I've fixed most of the issues. But, thanks for commenting. Regarding the terrain, I was using a flat region not an elevation region and that is why I couldn't adjust the elevation.

BTW I had already watched that video you sent the link to several times and I mentioned that in my question. So, I retract, this wasn't helpful

Ok, thanks for the link -helpful. What about the ability to assign a flat region an elevation? Thank you!

Yikes I've got a mess! I have a couple things going on. I'm working on modeling an existing house for a renovation. I've attached photos of the house. The grade slopes so one enters the house on the 1st floor and goes down to the lower floor. Also as you can see from the photo labeled - Entry, the garage is higher than the 1st floor elevation and I've been trying to model that correctly. I've modeled the 1st floor and thought if I followed the video for the walkout basement I could change the basement walls as required to exterior walls and then create a new foundation under. Is this the best way to go about it? Also, in the walkout video, the height of flat regions are able to be specified but, I don't seem to be able to do that. Does Pro not have that capability? Am I missing something? Thanks for your help! Boyd Existing.plan

So it seems to have something to do with the stairwell and designating the 2nd floor area as "open to below. When there is a floor or I designate it as "Hall" the window cuts through but when I label it "open to below" it doesn't. I can't upload the model because it is too large.

Ok, I'll check. If that doesn't work I'll upload the plan file. Thanks

Any thoughts as to why this window isn't cutting through the exterior sheathing and siding? All of the other windows in this model are fine. This window is in a space or room that is open to below so I suspect that has something to do with it. I've tried placing it in the plan and on the model... Thank you!

Is there anyway to the layer to which an object is assigned? I have some items in a plan that are on the same layers. When creating a layout sheet there are some items on that layer I want to stay on and others I don't. Thanks!

Ahhh! Yes! That should work. Thanks!

My foundation (see attached image) is a 4" slab on grade with a 1'-6" deep turned down stem wall. My sill plate is a PT 4x6 so I can get 3 1/2" of insulation to obtain the R requirement. The 3/4" subfloor will sit on top of this and would be the floor level with the finish floor allowance on top. I cannot figure out how to do this in the settings. If I set the slab at the top of the stem wall there is no way to make the subfloor which is 4 1/4" above it the floor. I want the sill plate sitting on the stem wall. I've tried making the slab 8 1/4" to account for the insulation and plywood subfloor then set it 4 1/4" above SWT but the program seems to not like that and increases the stem wall depth. I'm trying to adjust this in the defaults. Any suggestions?

AW! Such an easy fix! Thank you!

I'm working on a log cabin. The exterior wall has a 3' pony wall that is stone veneer on stud wall back-up and vertical logs above it. This is a change to how I originally built the model which was a poured concrete pony wall with stone veneer that was 54" above the floor with the vertical logs on top. With the revisions I also added a foundation wall to create a crawlspace. When I changed the wall type and reduced the height the interior rooms went away and now there is just a polyline called exterior room for the whole structure. What am I doing wrong? I'm attaching the current model with the revised wall types. Silver Creek Cabin-CD's.plan

ok, got it, thank you!

I've been working on a 2 story model already sited on a terrain perimeter with elevations. I would like to move it to another location on the site. If I drag my mouse over the 1st floor plan - which is also where the terrain info exists, it only captures the 1st floor and leaves the 2nd floor behind. What's the best way to move this house in its entirety? Thanks!

Drop & drag worked. Thanks!
