jmistler Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 The terrain for this house slopes gradually up from the street to the garage. The garage floor and garage door sit 2' below grade. I need to excavate a gentler slope for the driveway up to the garage, and perhaps add retaining walls along the sides of the driveway. The driveway needs to seamlessly but up against the floor of the garage and bottom of garage door. I have tried adding retaining walls, but they don't work right (see photos). Adding a driveway over the sloped terrain looks horrible and doesn't meet the garage floor and bottom of garage door at the 2' below grade level. How can I achieve this? Thanks!

DavidJPotter Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 No one can help you with any certainty until we know what version and title of the software you are using. In terms of terrain the tools are all similar but differences do exist from application to application. What do you have please? DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Click on the terrain feature and uncheck automatic and flatten pad, then draw 2 elevation regions one for the rear and one for front. Use this as an example, play around with it until it's how you want it. slope.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmistler Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thank you for the file. I am working with it now. Looks promising so far. If anyone else wants to chime in, I am all ears! Attached a screen shot of my current version and title of software. Thanks! Home Designer Pro 2018 (latest version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
