Site Plan Surfaces
Having selected your plan(s) to be displayed in 2D and 3D, or just one of the dimensions. You can then choose which surfaces of your project the site plans are displayed in. Consider your project to be made up of 3 surfaces:
- ① Proposed - the area of disturbance within a phase
- ② Ground - the existing or ground level of a phase
- ③ Surround - the coloured background area outside of the model, which may show your site plan, where there is no ground or proposed topography.
To display your site plans on the different surfaces go to the 'Plans' menu and hover over your listed site plan to reveal the list and the option to 'Move Down' (Move Up will appear as an option once the site plan has been moved below "--Proposed--").
Below are the three view options:
| All surfaces on: The site plan is at the top of the list, above "--Proposed--" so displays on all the surfaces of the project. |  |
| Ground & Surround: The site plan is between "--Proposed--" and "--Ground--" so displays on the Ground and Surround surfaces. (Not the Proposed) |  |
| Surround only: The site plan is below the "--Ground--" so only shows on the Surround surface, i.e. not on the model (Not the Proposed or Ground). |  |
