    I have a void in the top level of a new design (will post some images when complete in next week or so) but the topo that is below the lower level is showing through.

    I have checked all the visibility settings that I can think of. What should be showing of course is the level below. How can the topo be showing through the level below when there is a ground floor slab? The level below does not have this problem and shows its floor so it isnt the topos surface protruding beyond the ground slab.

    Any suggestions?

    Funkman,

    Are you using a pad to "depress" the topo below your lower floor slab? If not, you might consider that.

    Also, verify that you didn't inadvertently delete the lower floor itself.

    Ciao!

    Christopher, there is no pad - dont need one since the natural ground line is below the lowest level. Also, the topo isn't showing itself in this lowest level.

    The floor is definitely there as well in the lowest level see in the 3d looking down into the void.

    Any other suggestions?

    hmmmm, is the file to large to post ?
    ( If so, can you extract just the slabs and topo and post that ? )

    Have you tried turning off the underlay to see if that changes anything?

    Try this , checking after each step :--

    1. Turn off Open GL if its on. ( Settings > Options > General > Graphics )

    2. Reboot.

    3. Open a new blank file in 6.1.

    4. Select and copy the topo in the original file to the clipboard.

    5. Paste it aligned into the new file.

    6. Do the same with each of the floor slabs in turn.

    Still a problem ?
