wow thats an interesting problem, i agree it has to be a bug. having to play with the terrain settings seems a weird way of fixing the problem when the terrain is supposed to be generated by the terrain tools themselves (eg countour lines and platforms).
anyway, i have another question for you, i love the design, but why the massive concrete edge beams? its a beautiful timber structure. your eyes room over it and suddenly all this blasted concrete underneath. i understand that putting it up off the ground, on piers or the like, might not be in your interest but i hate mixing the concrete and timber exteriors in this way. (excuse my bias, i am a design and technology teacher by degree...and obviously....i love the natural timber look). in anycase it's your fault im complaining, you entranced me with the lovely interior structure!

Adam,
if you're looking at my example, I used that type of foundation just to check P-Cats's foundation issue. There is no design intent in any of my comments or regarding the illustrated issue. I just wanted to see how the terrain and foundation were interacting in the different scenarios.-BBArchitect,NOT!
