Set Elevation
When viewing your scheme in 3D, in many situations when the ground is
flat or relatively flat, you may keep the default elevation, but as
soon as there is any type of
slope, you might have noticed, that your buildings are "clamped" to the
ground in Google Earth. This is when you need to set your Absolute Site
Elevation for Google Earth.
- This operation is accessed
through the
Georeference button located on your Site Plan when in Edit Mode
- On the bottom right is
where you enter the elevation and you may choose via the pull down menu
if the data is in feet or meters
- If you do not know the
site's elevation, you can obtain the information in Google Earth by
hovering over a point on the site and reading the elevation from the
bottom of the window
- Click Save
- Then return to your Site
Plan by clicking the Site
Plan link near the top left
the the screen
After setting this Elevation
your building may "disappear" in 3D, which means you need to set the
Building Elevation:
- Double click on the
building to Access the Building
Setting Menu
- Select the Elevation
tab
- Enter your elevation relative to the site (if the floor elevation is 440' and the Site Elevation is 400', than you would only enter 40' here)
- Click Save
