Scott, yes to your suggestions, and 1 other. The fact you cannot change that 6" that Chief adds to the terrain height should be adjustable by the user and not automatic by Chief.

Perry, you are absolutely correct, 8" is the new code here in the Great State of Fruits and Nuts, and I suppose the user should be able to adjust this. However this auto calculate feature is nonsense to me, I think this may have been designed for the newbie, and I get that, no problem. I never use it and I do not need to, the manual setting works quite well.

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.
If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall

Lew, I reviewed your posted plan, and it was wrong. You F.F. elevation was set at 1.8' above grade on the outside, not the 1.0' above grade that I wanted. Here is a link to the video if interested.

Scott:
could be it was wrong, I was concerned with matching your contour lines
not the F.F.
I missed that was part of the challenge
the manual setting works quite well
so with a completely flat lot what do you set the "pad elevation" to ???
and what components make up that total value ???
I'll go watch your video

I'm still trying to figure out why so much is being made about such a simple concept which leads me to believe that there is still something I'm missing.
Doug:
it is far from 'SIMPLE" - as evidenced by the confusion of terms and concepts
etc
not sure how to explain the confusion except to ask that you review each of the posts in this thread and take notes of what is confusing to each poster
then perhaps you can explain it to us in simple terms how it currently works ???
I think part of the confusion is switching the conversation back and forth between the auto-calc ON method and the auto-calc OFF method
my understanding is that they are two different methods
but then maybe I am confused
so please explain what chief does with each method
