Doug,
Thanks, It has always been my understanding, logically, everything builds in CA relative to a baseline. So, what to chose for that baseline? The one thing all structures have in common, regardless of design, is a first floor somewhere. I think that makes the most sense for a baseline. Knowing that, I'm fairly confident in the positiion of everything +/_ that baseline. As you mentioned, worse case is entering the incorrect direction, but hardly an issue.
So, I must have completely missed the point of this post, but I wanted to thank you for confirming my thoughts on the issue of where the placement of everything in elevation stems from.Randy

BTW: 20' for f.f. is wrong since that puts f.f. at grade. Should be 20'8" for monoslab. (4" for slab + 4" stone fill) -- Just Nit Picking to aggravate my "virtual web" friend -- I play golf very badly and calif is too far for a match.
Attached is latest plan. How do I get the primary contours to read both local elev. and sea level using regions? Back of lot can not graded, too many trees.Keep in mind, I never do this. I just add a note of sea level to the local maker ref and everything is acceptable -- But what if?Last edited by gteacher; 01-24-2012 at 11:57 AM. Reason: Spelling & note

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

Garry
This is a existing lot with actual site survey. The lot was excavated 50+ years ago for a farm drainage line and left in this state. Owners are trying to build there because it is an inherited lot and a freebee. Most of the lot can not be graded because of number of trees. The location picked is the only one economical considering fill required if total regrading is rejected.
The amount of fill needed here might make this unpractical. -- my point to Owner - but who knows. That's why I overlaid the pad on the site data.
My point is that regions are not feasible here. Only option if sea level data would be required is mass selection and raise/lower of all points to new level. Easy enough, but does not require setting pad elev or anything else to zero. I would leave auto-cal on with adjustment and everything would line up.
Also note that in my area, this is not required. Only one data point at sea level need be shown. We're still talking 6 vs half dozen.Gerry

Please please please add the terrain contour adjustment option, working on a tough site and would love to be able to flip back and forth between contours relative to sea level and back to relative to finish floor, please.

Yep, you do. I just don't like anyone messing with the person who helps more than anyone, around here. You could learn a lot from him also. What he teaches , ain't in no books. And its got me out of many a jam. Thank you to that person who we shall keep nameless. You got a friend in me.
