Tilted Driveway

[ramzzess]

Hello Gays,

I have been trying to build a one floorhouse with a basement. I want the hause to be 1.5 elevated and the basement to be 2.4 meters high. Then I need to use the basement as a garage so I have been trying to build a driveway that would start at 0 elevaion but end and -0.9 meters, however, all my attempt have failed, I have only been able to build all kinds of tilted terians, but nothing I do, seams to produce a flat tarain, with a tilted down driveway.

Please help.

Thank you in advance.

Gays? hahaha

Sounds like you need to place a terrain elevation line across the entrance to the garage at the depth you want. You will more than likely also need to put in a terrain line at elevation 0 showing where the driveway begins to slope down. Lastly, you will need to put in a terrain walls on either side of the driveway to keep your surface from "caving in" around the driveway...assuming that is what you want in effect.

Gays, huh? That is funny.

Once you get your terrain tight, use the road tool and it will follow. Sounds like you need a terrain region for the house, then you can use a line to slope the terrain from there.

If you're trying to cut a down-sloping driveway into a terrain, what I usually do is put a terrain hole in where you want the driveway, put walls on either side which you can manually adjust the heights of to suit the terrain and driveway, then in cross-section draw the tilted driveway as a polyline solid, and either set the thickness to the width of the driveway or just make it some random thickness you can see in plan and then you can drag it to width in plan view.

Is this roughly what you're after?

Here's my way, tho I'm sure there are others:

Extend the basement with a basement 'room' where the ramp needs to be. uncheck 'roof over this room' in the room bdx. Pull down the tops of the basement walls in section or render view to meet or be a little above your flat terrain. Put a wedge (in the library under 'geometric shapes') in the 'room'. resize the wedge to fill the 'room', set the bottom of the wedge to -2.4 meters (or whatever the basement floor elevation is) and the ht of the hedge to the vertical dimension required to reach the terrain. Set the wedge mat'l to cocret or as desired.

This method requires that you do the math to figure out how long the room' needs to be, based on the vertical difference between the basement floor elevation and the terrain and how steeply sloped the ramp you want.
