How can I show the borders of my property?

Post by Paulchen2000 »

Hello guys,

I am new here... sorry I am not able to figure out:

1. how I can draw the borders of my property


2. how I can "shape" my property (I do not know if this is the right word inEnglish).

for a better understanding: when entering my property / house at ground floor, I am entering it even at street level. When I go downstairs to the cellar, i am also able to leave my house even with the ground.

So the delta between street and gardenlevel is about 2,00m.

Can I show that in Sweet Home 3d? If - How can I do that?


thanks for your help

Peter

It is not possible to edit the terrain, eg create slopes, hills, etc.
You can simulate this by inserting triangles and boxes around your house.

To build a house with more than one level, use the function Add Level.

ahh - o.k. that means a workflow like ...

1. Adding a Level and drawing the borders of the property
2. Adding a second Level containing blocks and triangle for showing the terrain?

or would you suggest to add the blocks and Triangle to the 1. Level?
thanks for ypur help

Exactly how you proceed, depends on the complexity of your structure. The two examples (just illustrations: template_scandinavian.sh3d, and geo_sample.sh3d are just rough examples of how you could do it, and probably easier to understand than written instructions. ok
