Hi all,
I am having problems with a site plan I'm working on. I have a house on a fairly steep slope. When I try to cut out the topography that is passing through the footprint of the structure, it seems that I never can quite cut all of it away. I use the split topography command, and follow the footprint of the building, but something always seems to go awry. Does anybody have any insights? Thank you all in advance!

Sounds a little strange...
Is there only 1 topographical element to begin with?
I'm just going on assumptions here but i imagine you have one large topography with a building in the centre (or there abouts) and then your using the split surface tool and sketching around the building, finishing the sketch, then selecting the centre topography under the building and deleting it?
Personally i'd probably use the building pad under the building so the topography is automatically cut to the pad...
If i'm off track let me know.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, that is basically the process that I am following, but I'm wondering if maybe the elevations of the edges that I am creating need to correspond exactly with the elevations of the topography at the cut edge. Anyway, very strange things are happening, plus if I then move the building just slightly on the site, I don't know how to patch the cuts . . . I need some adult supervision!

Definetly try using a pad...
Especially if there is chances the building will move on site. Moving topography after it's been cut is very inaccurate...
