MikeinOregon Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I am using Home Designer Architectural and a new user. I have a 1/3 acre triangular sloped lot. I have x,y,z coordinates for the lot corner points with one corner starting at 0,0,0. I also have bearings and distances for each lot line. I have surveyed the lot and have about 100 points in x,y,z format referenced from the 0,0,0 point. I was successful in importing the survey data and can view the contours and terrain in 3d. It shows up as a square lot. What I cannot do is manipulate the terrain model to represent my triangular site using my reference 0,0,0 point. I cannot find any information on how to build the terrain model with the information I have. Do I need to upgrade to PROFESSIONAL version to do this? All advice is much appreciated.

MikeinOregon Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Additional information: I created a CSV file of my survey points with labels on corner points. I was able to import the csv file, and adjust the perimeter to the corner points. all good! EXCEPT, now I CAN move the terrain perimeter, but CANNOT move the survey points (elevation lines) with the perimeter. How do I move the perimeter with the points? Maybe Architecture will not allow this, but what a waste if you cannot adjust the house/site location. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIG5050 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hello MikeinOregon, You should be able to left click-drag-select the terrain and points and move/rotate them. Then rebuild the terrain. If that doesn't work, post your plan file. Maybe someone can help you better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeinOregon Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 That worked Dig! Thank you! I was able to select all the points since they were not over the house. I moved the points/terrain outline over the house and it worked. Now if I want to move the terrain outline/points I don't know how to select just the points/outline. When I drag the box over the terrain/points, the house also gets selected. I think I can get around this by building a new model each time I want to reposition the terrain in relation to house. thanks again, Mike MacBook Pro with Home Designer Architecture 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
