D. Scott,
I have been away for a couple of days and come back to this very interesting conversation.
Can you explain what you mean in the above by
ELEVATION OF THE TERRAIN PERIMETER - is there such a thing?
and TERRAIN ELEVATION - is there such a thing? Do you mean Pad Elevation?
In your example I would set the Pad Elevation to 20' (relative floor level) - is that what you want to know?
What are you trying to achieve?
Haven't we been through this before?
I think a lot of confusion arises because when you have a Terrain Perimeter with contours and you uncheck Auto Calculate Elevation.
Under these circumstances Pad Elevation is the elevation you are setting for Chief's zero floor level to - it has nothing to do with setting terrain building pads or elevation regions under the house - or nothing else to do with shaping or modifying the levels of the terrain.
It simply relates zero floor level to the terrain levels.Last edited by Glenn Woodward; 01-21-2012 at 05:55 PM.
