I have a low patio area leading to a raised grass area that is only 300mm higher.
I have created edging stone and even managed to get a surface at the correct position using [ground fill] however I cannot get the topography to fit the desired stopping point as it does in reality.
The same occurs with a retaining wall.
It is a very small garden and these details make a big difference. How can this be achieved ?
Picture attached shows the dilemma...
Thankyou
Hi there,
Can you share the name and version number of your program as well as your OS?
Sorry here's the specs..
Windows PC
Floorplan Pro 2020 Ver 21.0.0.1016
Hi there,
Try this: create a "Build Pad" between the patio and the sloped topography => use the same elevation that you used for the patio.
TFP, as any program, has a learning curve. The best way to learn the program, IMO, is practice + practice + practice => Read and follow the manual (this is important), see the videos => try to create elements not related with your project, so you will become familiar with the commands and how to manage the different components and effects .
If you are interested, my eBooks for the TFP programs (https://www.punchhelpers.com/turbofloorplan-win.html) includes several tutorials about this subject.
Hope this helps
I have used a build pad and this still doesn't stop the 'spill over' of the slope through the edging and onto the patio.
I am unable to make a vertical rise of the landscape without it appears raising the whole base level and excavating - unfortunately if you do this then other objects do not follow the 'dug out' area as they do with topography.
Please take it I have read the manual and practiced - This is not my first CAD program and I would not be asking for advice on the forum If I didn't see a solution.
Can I also ask how pointing me in the direction of paid content is the way forward if you are on a forum designed to help individuals who have purchased a product and are asking for help.
I am glad to know that you read the manual, so I am sure that you will find the solution to your problem! :)
FYI, I am a volunteer (I am not an IMSI employee) and I am a known "helper" (since 2001). It is my pleasure to provide services, tutorials, eBooks and content of thousands of elements not provided by the sw manufacturer.
Good luck with your project.
My Sincere apologies - I Incorrectly thought this forum was run by IMSI hence being a little blunt In my reply.
Furthermore I didn't explain myself very well which didnt help - your initial answer perfectly answered my question. I was referring to the vertical between the topography not the flat plain.
Sorry If I offended.

Glad to know that my answer was correct. Good luck with your project! ;)
