The dsh Terrain Building Test

Your right, Chief does not do cut/fill, or if they do they do it very badly. But obviously, in order to create a level pad, some cut/fill has to be done and I was guessing that the double terrain line looked like some type of cut/fill.

But your explanation is better, what I was looking at was really the end of the level pad area on the back/top side of the building. This would approximate a cut/fill section. Note I did say it was wrong.

Attached is plan. I think we beat this one to death. Real problem and confusion is just that Chief updates intermittently and sometimes bizarrely. I agree now-- somewhat-- with Scott.

Gerry:

nice video

It was interesting to see that chief's online manual uses "sill plate" in the calculation - the printed manual doesn't mention it

maybe you can do a video showing the relationship of the
terrain elevation (regions, lines etc) and the pad elevation when auto-calc is on and when it is off

I think this is an area that is causing Scott some confusion...

I hadn't noticed a re-build issue but then I wasn't focused on the pad elevation to the level of detail
that you showed in the video - very informative
