Jo_Ann Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I moved the front Elevation Region (flat area) back to the front-most part of the house. This changed the slope, so I then had to open the terrain perimeter and change the terrain height to 18". Argg. This also meant I had to change the stem wall height on the house and also the floor (C) on the garage. Yikes! So, the garage floor (C) is now set at -58" and the stem wall is set at 24". The house stem wall is set at 52". You have to uncheck 'automatic' and 'flatten pad' on the terrain dbx. 'Hide terrain' doesn't matter, because you have no basement.

LawB10 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Do you have a pic of what the terrain looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Solver if you unlock the file, lower versions of the software can open and edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 James, I hope that your meeting with the contractor went well. I think that you had a good enough visual representation to express to the contractor what you want. He will do the math/elevation specifics.BUT...if you want your model to be more correct (for yourself), you might have more corrections to do. You said that the house had crawl space below it, and the garage was built on a slab. In the plan file that you posted, both structures are built on a monolithic slab, but you never said that the house was built on a slab. In the pic below, left structure is a slab (floor structure (L) 4"); right structure is a normal built structure (floor structure (L) 12 5/8"). Notice the difference between the 2, especially the distance of the doors to the terrain. You have to have foundation showing above ground (siding should not disappear into the ground). So.. how is the house structure really built? Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesSym Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 The meeting went very well. Thank you! The contractor was able to identify some potential issues in the 3D version that we didn't foresee ! And thanks for picking top on the slab issue. You are correct, the house is NOT built on a slab and has footings and crawl space beneath it 32" crawl space on 40" footings I believe) (Guest House is on a slab- looks like the one on the left- re your picture).

JamesSym Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Also, I had a civil engineering plan done, and asked for the actual date so I can add to the terrain plan to have accurate elevations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
