Cannot keep the terrain out of the basement

Hello,

I encountered some issues with my first Home Designer Pro 2024 adventure.
As I am in Europe, you will see that all measurements are in metric; sorry for that.
I added the plan file with this message and a pdf with some extracts from the plan and camera views to clarify the issue.

The issue is that the terrain continues in a part of the basement. The setup sequence of the plan might be the source of the problem: 

• Created the 1ste Floor,
• Then heightened the foundation walls to obtain a basement ( +/- 6 feet) 
• Added an additional basement on the back of the house with no 1st floor on top. (as there is a deck on top of that basement extension)
• Added a deck on top of the additional basement
• Created the terrain and adjusted the terrain elevations. 

I am trying to figure out how to handle the terrain elevation issues at the back of the house; when focusing on the elevation lines, Home Designer tries to make up for the difference.

 

I also thought that a Retaining Wall might help to, to no avail. I tried several scenarios on test plans but without success.

 

I’m hoping someone with more experience with Home Designer can see the problem. 
Kind regards, Andre

Try using the terrain hole feature, mark the area to the outside of the foundation for the whole floor, then uncheck "hide terrain intersected by building.
