Glad to hear it !

Hi David. First, let me thank you for your tutorial. Could you explain why do you set the first reference level to a negative value?

[@DavidTomic]

That’s how the system is set up. Don’t have the technical answer as to why. But you’ll noticed that if you don’t your RLs when modelling don’t match.

@@DavidTomic Thank you for your quick answer

Can we get the cad site file so I can follow along the tutorial

[@DavidTomic]

If you join the patreon in the description all files are available there

Hi David, thanks for all you courses! I am new to archiCAD, and I was wondering if there is a way to export the terrain like it is possible with Formit - Revit platform, where you can export from the maps any content. Cheers

[@DavidTomic]

There are a few work around and plug in options but none of which I have found too useful unfortunately

[@shirkhan9111]

Can you expand on reference level and how best to use it in an actual project. For instance my FFL is 101.10, how would I go about setting up the reference levels on a really slope site so that I can communicate levels for site excavations and retaining walls in elevations or floor plans for site context? This feature has been really hard to get my ahead around?
