HI I have set my lot size (in topo designer) to 285 m X 175m and created all the contours. When I go back to the landscape designer I only have an area of about 60m X 60 m on which to work. How do I get to change this size? Additional, if I try adding anything into landscaper I receive a message which states that no changes can be made because a power tool is open. Please help Thanks Angelo

Hi Patricia Thanks very much for the help with setting the lot dimensions. It is very simple now that I know what to do. I have another problem and wonder if you can help me. I am using the exacvation tool, but it does not seen to dig the hole. With AS3000, when I used the excavation tool, I would get a hole when viewing it with liveview, however all I get now is a flat area at the evalvation at which I draw it. Thanks Angelo

Hi Patricia Thanks for help with Excavator. I figured out from your attachment and that if the walk-through speed was set to the lowest setting it would give me the view I required. I'm guessing that this setting would allow Liveview to compute the picture correctly and therefore display it correctly. Once more, thanks very much. Angelo

Hi Lyle, Thanks for your answer. The drawing you added helped me to more easily understand what you were saying with words. In your example, I see that you were directly creating contours in order to make the required slope. I didn't know about adding the extra contours at the top and bottom of the Punch! lot - that will come in handy in the future. I still am hoping to find out about getting or enabling the features that the AS4000 printed manual (page 42) talks about - which is selecting either a Sloped Lot or Sloped Lot Section object and using the "Convert to contours" button in the properties bar. My version of AS4000 doesn't have a "Convert to contours" button, or a "Contours" field within the Slope properties box. Is that just a misprint in the manual, or should my version 8.0.0 have those features? Thanks again, Andy
