Getting Started

In this tutorial we'll use the same house plan that we've used in previous tutorials. However, the terrain will be entirely different. The terrain data, terrain objects, retaining wall, and the large front deck must be removed to allow for a walkout basement. We could delete all of these elements manually. However, since we saved the plan as we began each new tutorial, we could open the plan that we saved at the end of the Kitchen and Bath Design Tutorial (before we created landscaping), rename it, and start from there.

To begin this tutorial
  1. Open the plan file that you saved at the end of the Kitchen and Bath tutorial.
  2. Select File> Save As and give the plan file a new name.
  3. Click the Fill Window button to fill the screen with the terrain perimeter.
  4. If necessary, center the terrain perimeter around the building. Do this by selecting the terrain perimeter and moving it. If you cannot remember how to do this, see "To move the terrain perimeter".
