When I delete a terrain object such as a hill from my plan, it seems to remain in plan view and I cannot get rid of it. Why is that?
There are a number of ways to delete terrain objects from your plan.
-
- You can select them individually in floor plan view, then click the Delete
edit button or press the Delete key on your keyboard.
- You can select Edit> Delete Objects
from the menu.
In the Delete Objects dialog, click the button beside All Floors, then check the box beside Terrain Objects and click OK.
- You can also select the Terrain Perimeter and delete it by clicking the Delete
edit button or press the Delete key on your keyboard.
When the Terrain Perimeter is removed, all terrain data is deleted as well.
- You can select them individually in floor plan view, then click the Delete
If you delete one or more terrain objects without deleting the Terrain Perimeter, you will not immediately see any changes in your terrain model. In fact, the deleted objects are gone, but the terrain must be rebuilt before this change will be reflected in the contour lines generated by the program.
To update your terrain so that it reflects changes you have made, select Terrain> Build Terrain from the menu.
For more information about creating terrain, see the Terrain chapter of the Chief Architect Reference Manual.
