Hi All,

I wanted a quick render base for a building and instead of making a topo i tried the ground plane in Accurender.

When setting the ground plane to suit elevation other than 0.0 the resultant height is wrong.

FFL=2700 ground plane needs to be set at 8.8 ???

There seams to be no relationship between the values. ie metric to imperial etc.

TIA

Yeah seems you've got to work in imperial ~ problem has been there always ~ should be some advice note on it ~ A pain but now you know will you forget it?

Cheers

Roger

Thanks Roger,
I suspected as much.
Accurender under Autocad allows for the units from the drawing to be set initially.
i wonder about the rest of the settings in Accurender that are affected by this.

Regards
Steve.
