@GeordieJLK Please reference this video at about minute 11 on. It has a very creative workaround that I think you may like? (Thanks, BluebellFlora) https://youtu.be/3PclVovRth4
I have not found a way for terrain tools to go right up to a wall. There are ways I've found to give it that illusion though. If you create the floor above about one - two squares wider than your base floor you can level off your terrain to make that floor (the second level) appear as your ground floor.
@GeordieJLK and @RavenLure I'm so happy that the video was helpful to you!! As I mentioned above, @Bluebellflora found the video. I agree with you, it is very clever indeed!! I guess we may all be playing around with these techniques. You should check out her other tutorials... they are just amazing!
@AlJay2000 I love that idea and thank you so much for the description!! I was checking out the build where you used the roofing for planters (so darn clever!) and used creative ways to create a walkout (LOVE it!! - the one for the 'A Chalet Getaway' challenge). I added a link above to it (comment #6). Can you please add a browser gallery link to this second one? I find it very helpful to download them and check out your clever tricks up close. Thank you so much!!
Sorry to me to-post, do you mind explaining how you managed to get the room above ground and the terrain flush? I have built a whole house already and really want to be able to do the terrain as it needs to be.
@nottovvy Welllll... Terrain height tools are my friend and nemesis. Terrain height can be super easy, extremely fidgety, or somewhere in-between, depending on your goals, lot, and the stage of building that you are currently at. Hopefully this info will be of some use to you in your situation:
Use the"Raise Terrain" / "Lower Terrain" tools to raise or lower the terrain. Note: With this tool and the other terrain tools, you can adjust the shape, size, speed, and softness of the brush/raising process in the slider settings:
A handy thing I usually follow up with after raising the terrain is to follow with the "Smooth Terrain" tool:
The "Flatten Terrain" tool is handy if you want to flatten an area of the raised/lowered terrain to a specific height. (the height will be where you place the white square in the center of the tool.):
Edit: Please note that in the case of what I mentioned above the home is on a foundation already. Does your home have a foundation? If the above is not what you meant, and if it doesn't help to read through the posts on this thread and to watch the video linked to in the solution (post #21), can you add a post with a screenshot and clarify what is different in your lot from the above and from the information in this thread?
I know it’s been 2 years since you posted this, but THANK YOU!!! My bf and i have been struggling for over an hour to figure it out! We’re watching a build video and had no idea how she did it so easily lol
