Building pads and phasing

[christo4robin]

I've got a building pad that is created in Phase 2. In a perspective of Phase 1, the building pad (yes, the one that doesn't get created until phase 2) still cuts the topography.

Any way around this?

Chris,

What is the phase filter setting for the perspective in phase 1 ?

Phase filter for the perspective is Phase 1.

Phase filter for the perspective is Phase 1.

OK, I think when a building pad cuts a topo surface, the original surface is changed permanently. Viewing the "existing "or "previous" phase then shows the topo with a " hole" cut out for the pad which is in the future stage.

I've done a couple of tests and thats the way it behaves for me too. If I've got the wrong idea about this , someone chime in.

My experience is the same. For any phase changes to topography, I have previously duplicated the entire surface. If you're just adding pads in phase two, you might consider splitting off that duplicate until you have a surface that coincides with your pad boundaries.

I haven't toyed with this yet, but why not try doing a graded region with no change in the surface prior to inserting your pad, that way you get all the correct surfaces coming through as a new phase and I imagine the pad will insert properly.
