Howdy,

when i create a building section, the 'Earth' poche cuts out correctly around my building put does not cut out around elevator and maintainence pits, it just goes right through these areas? I have foundation walls and floor slabs defining these areas?

thanks

Add another pad to cut your pit.  Under the site tab.

yes, i tried that and have attached a dwf of the results. it does not work correctly as you will see. this seems like such a simple issue, drafting 101. i have even tried making these areas into rooms but still no luck. i have made the bottom of the pit an actual level as well, but no luck. what if this was a partial basement...would i have the same problem?

thanks for your input, it got me a little closer, at least i dont have earth in my pits

Sorry but pads do work correctly when done right. 

 

First, the pad should be defined to the outside of your pit walls - not the inside.  This should take care of the line at the top of the topo.  Remember - this is just like you build it.

Second- the line at the top of the wall / bottom of the slab would be there in real life - unless you plan on puring the wall with the slab.  But - if you want to get rid of the line, use your join geometry tool - that is assuming the pit opening in the floor actually matches your wall location.

Third, I assume you will be placing another pad for your other pit?

 

Finally - you don't need a level or rooms to make this work ... but if you want them....

The plot thickens....

it would appear that if i have multiple contour lines in my Architectural site plan, i need to merge those surfaces, which is not so good if you want to show the site grading. i did the other things you suggested and they worked great as long as i only have one topo surface?

I'm not sure I understand.  Why would you have more than one topo surface .... or do you mean you have a split surface?

 

Did you look at graded regions on your site tab?

I was confused, just getting used to the site contour stuff. I appreciate the solution and will keep working on developing my site plan and watch how it effects my building sections
