Basement Garage and Terrain

[DeePrice]

The current terrain pad is set to 48".  I want to keep the front and sides at 48" but I also want to add a garage door at the rear of the building (underground parking).

 

My problem is that I do not know how to get the rear of the home lower than 48" and still retain the 48" for the remainder of the home on a level platform.  Can anyone advise me as to what the true number is going to be between the rear of the house and the fence (without a trench look to it)?  and do I need to intersect that line through the building itself to create a sloped driveway?

Thanks JoAnn, I was hoping you would be the one to reply; I had read a prior response of yours that I was trying to duplicate in my design, but I ended up with a ski slope going into the garage.  Should of put snow on it. LOL.

I was hoping that was what you were wanting to do.
Once you get the basic regions set up, you can then modify them to suit your own particular terrain.

I have found that it is easiest to use terrain regions, and let the program do the gradual sloping between the different region elevations.
Using elevation lines can get really complicated and confusing.  Likewise, elevation points (even MORE so).

I have a similar problem but the daylight garage is on the left side of the house with retaining walls.  How do I create this?
