Building on a hill
Hi there and a wonderfull good evening,

I finally managed to find the location for my information pavillion for my Arts Oral Exam for my German Graduation.

Now another huge problem arose, I need to integrate a two story building in a hill-sight which has a 30° rise - so how do I manage to create the surrounding for the building - do I need to create just one new niveau and will my building "automatically" cut into the environment or how do I go about it? Do I need to create the "hill" (it is green gras with just some plants on it) as one level or do I need to design the environment around the building as well as above and below? How do I go about it? I am at a thorough loss right now and panicking, as I am running out of time as well.

Thank you for your help in advance
Henri

Hi Henri,
Do you know this new plugin? I suggest also this tutorial... Anyway, you will need to create a new level.
Courage !

Re: Building on a hill
Hi Yvonne, your link was most helpful, thank you so very much! I installed the plug-in and restarted Sweet Home 3D, yet the Tool "Generate 3D Terrains from Rooms" is - on either of the levels - only shown in light grey, indicating it is not available, so that I cannot choose it. What am I doing wrong?

Best Wishes
Henri
