Barnyoka Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I have a home design in one file, and a terrain established in another file. I want to move the house onto the terrain, but I find the terrain is not drawn to scale. I have tried changing the settings for the terrain according to the general instructions for the program, but only the edges of the terrain move. The elevation lines either do not move, or the terrain seems to develop elevation lines of its choosing, well beyond my present ability to control. Please, is there a simple solution to make a terrain larger (or smaller) than it was originally drawn? Many thanks in advance! Barnyoka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnyoka Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Thank you kindly, Solver. I took your advice re signature--see below. I'm a newbie, but not that new. I spent two days messing around with the help and support features--I should have stopped on the first day and asked then for help, yes? If I hear you correctly, it is not possible to rescale a terrain; we must get it right the first time. However, I continued to work with the program after I posted. I selected the terrain and successfully managed to enlarge it. In doing so, the landscape became distorted. I attach photos of the correct terrain and of the distorted version with the house in place. The design is for an underground house, so I'm not bothered about the house being set down at a lower elevation, but I do mind the whorls that the program introduced into the terrain, clearly visible in the 2D sketch. I am grateful for your help, and I have no wish to waste your time. I write and send photos only so that you can see what I'm trying to do. You need not reply to this message. I'll work more on the terrain today, removing the current terrain and replacing it with a newly drawn one according to your instructions. If I have I have any more difficulty, I'll get back to you soon. Thank you, and have a lovely day!

LawB10 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Use the elevation regions, put one on each side and away from the house, raise and resize until you get what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
