The dsh Terrain Building Test

Correction -- Somewhat!!

Lew's plan was without a foundation and Pad Elevation was at 539.5, once you add a foundation, pad elevation jumps to 547. Without a foundation, Terrain under the building is set at the bottom of the floor joists. With a foundation, it is set at 6" below the top of foundation. I'm thinking that without a foundation, chief only adds the floor joist height (12), and forgets about the extra 6" which would account for my error of 6".

If you like, I'll post a video of how I looked at this graphically.
The terrain perimeter height is set at the lowest elevation data. in this case 240" Everything starts form there.
I don't think the contour lines show correctly - But I don't understand what they are try to say??

Right now, I have to shovel snow!!
