Hi everyone,
I have two questions, the first one is regarding the stakes.
So far I understood that I can set stakes so that they show the height of the existing or proposed model. I was wondering if there was a way to set them so that they also show the heights of objects. E.G. I have a building with a roof terrace, I draw the building in 3D with the given tool, can I put a stake so that it automatically shows the height of the terrace when placed on it? Is there another tool that is not a stake doing that?
Mz second question is regarding the Hardscape tool, so far I have been using thexture beds as surfaces for my models and in plan they look totally fine both in 2d and 3d, But with them I always have to draw sections separetly, now I am trying to set my works in a way that I only draw slabs with a pre created style so that I can work more with automatic sections.
Problem is sometimes they don't show on the model but they look like they are a couple mm under it. I guess is because they are at the exact same height of the terrain and the program chooses to show the terrain (?) (I have the slabs on a separate layer that is on top of the model layer)
I try to make an example here:
I have a model with a pad modifier setting a slope from 1m to 0,
on top of this I draw a 50cm thick slab (composed by 3 different layers) sloping also from 1 to 0, in the properties I set the "Datum" to take into account the upper surface of the first layer of my slab, cause I want that to be at level with the terrain.
Is there a way to avoid this or my only option is to set the "datum" to the lower part of my slab top layer? Or even worse to set my slab 1cm higher then the terrain?
I attach a screenshot, hoping that it will make my words more clear
thank you a lot!
