    Raising terrain and then undoing that height adjustment or placing a platform no longer prevents objects from being placed in that area.

    Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78

    please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,

@Jasperaus08

I was able to reproduce everything you posted so there is a bug of some type imo.

But I found that by leaving the lot and going to the map and then returning to the lot fixed it.  So it looks to be temporary and whatever was blocking the door and object placement goes away when I did that. 

After getting it to clear on the first test structure, I repeated it on the same lot in another place.  Built a room with a platform and deleted it and the issue happened again.  Leaving the lot and returning to it also cleared it up and I was able to place the door and a few objects again.

So, you can get around the problem by leaving the lot and reentering the lot from the map.

Hope this helps.

    I thought this should be the answer to the problem. I noticed that the issue usually started happening after playing for a few hours. So I just started using it as a chronometer to keep me from playing for too long.

      @Writing_Razberry I think bb.moveobjects should work but this shouldn't happen in first place
