Hi, 

Im working on a few projects with sloping sites. I've created the topography and I'm trying to work out a way to create an object that will extend to the topography.

What im trying to achieve is when you look at the 3d you dont see all the sub terrain components (like bases of columns etc.) sort of the areas in red as shown on the attached image.

 I was thinking maybe using walls to extend down from the topography to a base to hide all these items. only trouble is I can't find an obejct that will either extend or be cut by the topography.....any ideas. thanks.

There are 2 methods:

(1)Edit the topograpy in the proposed phase. This will create a copy of the topography in the proposed phase. You can then directly edit the points that define the elevation of the topography.

 2) Use pads. These will cut or fill the topography under the pad. You can define the pad to be concrete or gravel etc.

There are extensive tutorials on this.

Good Luck!
