WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.040 Welcome back. The next thing I would like to do in this model will be to clean 00:06.040 --> 00:13.600 up the topography and geometry of this North patio. If we go to view hidden 00:13.600 --> 00:18.680 geometry you can see there are all these triangulations basically connecting 00:18.680 --> 00:25.240 this slope all the way down. We want to create a flat surface for this 00:25.240 --> 00:31.000 patio. We can use a similar process, well we did before, with this planter on 00:31.000 --> 00:37.760 this patio by using the drape tool. I'm going to view uncheck hidden geometry and 00:37.760 --> 00:47.400 then double click into here to where we have this as an isolated group. So I can 00:47.400 --> 00:54.000 move, I want to move actually I want to double click into this so that way we 00:54.000 --> 01:01.080 don't see everything else and then triple click this and make group and then I 01:01.080 --> 01:08.400 will draw a rectangle underneath this as well. A large rectangle we want this 01:08.400 --> 01:13.600 not to be touching. We can see that there is a corner that touches so I will 01:13.600 --> 01:18.900 actually double click this element and then move this down a period so 01:18.900 --> 01:26.820 that way it's not touching and then I will go into my drape tool again and 01:26.820 --> 01:34.060 click here and then here and then I will delete this portion and hit the delete 01:34.060 --> 01:43.180 key but now as we can see this is not an enclosed shape. If I zoom in I can see 01:43.180 --> 01:53.620 that there are breaks in between these lines. You can do that by double-clicking 01:54.100 --> 01:59.300 and triple-clicking to see where these are connected and where they're broken. I 01:59.300 --> 02:07.700 can see that there's a break right here and there's a break right here. We can 02:07.700 --> 02:14.820 manually close these by zooming in and then using our line tool to fill in the 02:14.820 --> 02:21.780 gaps. We have endpoint to endpoint and zooming out again and going into the 02:21.780 --> 02:35.040 other portion over here and now but once I join those two you can see that the 02:35.040 --> 02:41.760 line changed from being thick to thin and now this is a surface and enclosed space. 02:41.760 --> 02:48.960 Now we will kind of erase these extra lines and there we have our flat patio. 02:48.960 --> 02:55.840 You can actually move this portion up and hit our H key to show rest of model 02:55.840 --> 03:02.280 hoing down shift and locking the blue direction snap it right at our clubhouse 03:02.280 --> 03:10.000 base. Now we have a flat patio directly adjacent to our clubhouse. However now 03:10.000 --> 03:16.680 you can see that these two surfaces don't match up so we will need to create a 03:16.680 --> 03:23.120 retaining wall between the landscape and the patio and then eventually we are 03:23.120 --> 03:31.560 going to create a slope walkway from this corner down to this corner. But first 03:31.560 --> 03:38.760 let's create our outline for our retaining wall. I will double click into this 03:38.760 --> 03:47.760 group and then I'll use the offset tool to offset from the retaining wall side 03:47.760 --> 03:53.760 eight inches which is a standard size of a seam you concrete block. There are eight 03:53.760 --> 04:00.320 inches by 16 inches and then eight inches tall and I will type eight inches and 04:00.320 --> 04:08.400 then enter and now I will go to view component edit high address of model. I do not 04:08.400 --> 04:14.280 need all of these lines over here because I just want the retaining wall to be 04:14.280 --> 04:20.400 from here to here. I can hit H to see where I want these retaining walls to go. I'm 04:20.400 --> 04:31.640 here to here and so I can again using my line tool and draw a line from this 04:31.640 --> 04:37.840 endpoint and then you can see that I want to snap along the red. We want to 04:37.840 --> 04:45.680 make sure that we hover over this line on here so we can create a extended 04:45.800 --> 04:51.720 constrained line from from this angle to there and then we'll do the same thing 04:51.720 --> 04:58.640 on this end draw a line from from this endpoint going along this direction which 04:58.640 --> 05:04.040 is green to here. Now if I was to select this portion you can see that now we 05:04.040 --> 05:11.840 we've broken that plane apart from these two so now this is connected. Now I can 05:11.840 --> 05:17.120 go to my erase tool and I can erase the rest of the lines. One trick thing I said 05:17.120 --> 05:23.120 of going into each individual piece and deleting you can break it off from from 05:23.120 --> 05:35.680 there to here and then you can actually double click these portions, triple 05:35.680 --> 05:42.040 click and delete and triple click all of those connected and hit delete. Now we 05:42.040 --> 05:48.520 should have two surfaces here and here. Let's make these two surfaces separate 05:48.520 --> 05:54.280 groups so triple click or double click. A triple click will select everything and 05:54.280 --> 05:59.880 double click will just select the boundaries. Double click, right click, make 05:59.880 --> 06:07.880 group, double click, right click, make group. So now we have two elements for the 06:07.880 --> 06:15.840 retaining wall. Let's move this down to basically along the blue right to this 06:15.840 --> 06:21.200 corner right here. Actually from this point we see that this is lower right 06:21.200 --> 06:32.640 to here and now we can double click this group and then hit H so we just only see 06:32.640 --> 06:42.520 this. We all move this up eight inches for one course of our concrete block. You can 06:42.520 --> 06:48.160 see that we created a retaining wall along here. However you can see that there 06:48.160 --> 06:53.200 still are some areas that this retain wall does not go up all the way. So we'll 06:53.200 --> 06:59.080 need to create different breaks to create various levels of heights of different 06:59.080 --> 07:06.520 courses for this retaining wall. We want to create eight inch modules so we can 07:06.520 --> 07:12.200 kind of orbit around and we can see where it gets a little tight and I think 07:12.200 --> 07:20.680 it also we can see where our slab is going. So we want to maybe make a line 07:20.680 --> 07:26.160 from here to here and then go to our push pull and push pull this up eight 07:26.160 --> 07:32.320 inches and then we can kind of go around and we can see that it gets kind of 07:32.320 --> 07:39.080 tight over here so we'll draw another line from here to here and push pull 07:39.080 --> 07:45.000 this up eight inches and then you can see it gets a little tight over here as 07:45.000 --> 07:53.000 well. We'll draw another line from here to here. I'm just connecting a line 07:53.000 --> 08:00.320 and a line here and so so that way it looks somewhat square on the top then 08:00.320 --> 08:07.460 I'll go to push pull and push pull this up eight inches and now we want to 08:07.460 --> 08:16.820 drop this down on the back side. So we'll draw a line from say around here 08:16.820 --> 08:23.420 and then push pull this down eight inches and then finally we'll do a portion 08:23.420 --> 08:32.420 kind of in the the middle right over here. We'll go down eight inches. So there 08:32.420 --> 08:36.780 we have our retain wall that kind of wraps around. We can we can we can create 08:36.780 --> 08:45.260 it some staggered sizes for that and then I want to triple click this 08:45.260 --> 08:50.060 geometry and go to soft and edges to really clean this up and drag this around 08:50.060 --> 08:57.340 between that 15 20 degrees. So we have a really nice smooth retain wall and I 08:57.340 --> 09:04.500 will hit escape to close out of all that and now we have a nice simple 09:04.500 --> 09:12.580 retain wall as well as a flat patio slab. In our next video we will work on this 09:12.580 --> 09:19.380 sloped walkway as well as adding in materials to our retain wall. I will see 09:19.380 --> 09:22.980 you in the next video.
