RollingStone Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is there a better way to get the terrain for a walkout basement. The sw keeps doing stupid stuff and doesn't seem to get the idea of having specific depths. I put a bunch of elevation lines in and get the results shown where at transition points you get weird stuff. Elevation region doesn't seem to do anything at all.

RollingStone Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Here's the iso-bars. CA isn't getting the fact there's a 100% slope at the edge of the foundation and is trying to smooth it out with isobars. There are no isobars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 see your other question and read those KB articles..... also I think I see Terrain inside the house which may mean you have unchecked the box in the pic or have a broken wall somewhere in your plan.

RollingStone Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Maybe I should just start over. Can someone give me step-by-step on how to do the attached? I want a window well and a walk-out door. Steps from the door will go up 4-5 steps than turn right to reach grade. I have used elevation lines to try and get the slope but Chief keeps doing stupid things on the ends. Used terrain features for the steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingStone Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Also have the terrain clip on already but still getting terrain in the house. There are no breaks in the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I did these You Tube videos some time back about Terrain, they might be useful to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u61Q1oUr2A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW1Fb8qckJQ DJP PS The terrain tools are identical in Chief Premier and Home Designer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 #1. Just because the walls appear to be connected, doesn't mean that they really are. Pull all walls back and let them 're-snap'. #2. You have to uncheck 'flatten terrain' if you want it to slope. #3. What I see in your pic, is a window 'well' and a door and stair 'well'. Create the wells as explained in the kb article, and then add the stairs. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00862/creating-a-window-well-for-an-egress.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
