LDRobertson Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I have converted my .dwg elevation file (supplied by survey) to .dxf . I have made several successful drawings and the terrain displays properly. I now have a new drawing I started. I imported the same .dxf but the only terrain showing is the part under the building. It looks very funny, I can change the thickness of the display and my house rises on a tall green pedestal! It does not display the entire terrain perimeter. If I click off on the "do not display terrain intersecting building" then I loose it all together. I have tried to follow the same settings as my successful plans. I have tried to reload the data but I end up with the same thing, no full display. I know I am missing a button somewhere, I just can not figure it out. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Using Professional 2017 Thanks in advance, Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution LDRobertson Posted July 30, 2016 Author Solution Share Posted July 30, 2016 A good nights sleep solved everything. I had a hidden terrain perimeter I could not see, hence the small rectangle under my foundation where the terrain intersected the building. I opened my plan in 3D and then hit the edit arrow. I was able to pull out the terrain perimeter enough so I could see the edges outside my foundation. I went back to floor plan view and adjusted the rest of my edges. All is solved. You do need to have the box checked to " show terrain intersection" or it may stay hidden forever. Thanks, from a real novice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
