Site Model and Staged Construction

[Malcolm Woodruff]

I often want to show  a basement construction where the excavation is done in stages, or part of the basement is at a deeper level. Putting a site modifier on top of an existing site modifier does not work. It would be good if you could use a site modifier for the first stage and then use the modified model as the DTM before placing th net site modifier for the second stage etc. Is this possible? If so, how?

Hello,

Maybe this will help - in the Site Model Settings>General you can choose what layers a Site Modifier is on that can affect the Site Model (SM). In my example I have two layers 'Phase 1' and Phase 2'. 

 

 

 

 

 

If you update the SM with only the modifiers on 'Phase 1' layer affecting it then create a 'Snapshot'. Likewise then edit the SM and add the 'Phase 2' layer and create another Snapshot. You can then have both snapshots side by side showing what each phase means.
