Thanks for the info. I want to focus on the adjustment of the contours @ +/- 5:33. If one wants to show existing contours & new contours, the 'easy' way of dragging points to match the new construction won't reflect the cut & fill. Is there perhaps a simple way to show the 'subtracted volume' of the cut&full / existing & new contours?
You are welcome. Yes that is a good question. I would try to copy the terrain, hide the copy until you are done with your point adjustments. Then unhide the copied terrain, give it a different material/color. Now use SEO and subtract the new created terrain from the original. This should give you in theory excavation? Question mark as I have not tried this myself but it should work. Let me know if it does! Cheers Carsten
@@ASMTechbase I think that makes sense. Seems like a simple & elegant solution. I struggled a bit with some of the SEO settings, but it's gotten a lot clearer as I go. I came from 39 yrs of AutoCAD. I find ArchiCAD to be much more superior.... However, btwn my '30yrs' & some unnecessary complexity in ARCad (selection & lots of cumbersome terminology), there are challenges to learning ARcad. But, with videos like yours, the learning curve is less steep Thank You 👍
@@MelaniaSideWigga oh no 39 yrs on the dark side! ha Glad you are getting used to Archicad, it has always been a lot more user friendly and developed with a common sense approach. Thanks for watching and it is great the videos are helping you digging in deeper into Archicad's features and workflow.
extremely helpful thank you!
good stuff man ! THanks!
Glad you liked it!

How many years you have using ArchiCAD? I have about 7 and need to know a lot more!
ahm just about getting close to 30 years :) I was lucky enough to be there from the start when we switched from conventional drawing boards to CAD.
@@ASMTechbase Great. Congrats, I love ArchiCAD
