Using Lews plan and calculating the Pad elevation graphically, I get a pad elevation of 545.5" vs Chief's 539.5" about 6" off. Close enough for government work. I still say Chief is doing it per their specs. -- straight forward.

If the Government would just cut down more d*** trees, I'd have a much better view of the forest.

nobody has told me at what elevation they set their terrain perimeter at.....
Scott:
the TP elevation can't be changed
it has a default of 0" at all times
elevation data has to be applied to set terrain elevations
my first two plans posted do recreate your challenge
I didn't bother to post pics of them as I assumed you would open my plans
I still think you don't understand where/why the "average" is applied

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

Scott:
no it can't
the House "pad elevation" can be changed on the TP dbx
but this has NO effect on the terrain elevation

Lew, I have not seen a picture from you with contour lines spec'd out like my first post, if you can't do that I do not know why I am talking to you. And now you are telling me that the TP is zero and cannot be changed..... So what is Doug talking about when he refers to the "average" legation. Come on guys, let's begin to communicate here.

I must be an idiot. 6" off is off, period. So Gerry, where are you setting your average pad elevation. Gerry can you post a plan depicting what I dd? Gerry can I see your plan specing out the contour elevations?
This is not rocket science, I would like to know what the TP elevation is according to Doug's method. I would also like to see someone post a plan similar to mine. Why do I keep getting this gobbledy gook from you guys. I am trying to make a point here and nobody is playing along.
Again my request is quite simple, let me know what your TP elevation is. (average elevation per Doug's method), and post a picture with the contours called out as I did in the very first post.D. Scott Hall (The Bridge Troll)
