Create a semi-underground garage [terrain module]

Cedreo allows you to create a basement garage by adjusting the elevation of the areas.


 

❗By default, a project has grass on the entire "Terrain" level (whether there are elevation points or not). So, as soon as you create a level below the "terrain" by adding a basement, you need to use "Spaces" or "Paths" (Exterior) tools.

Prepare the garage

1.  In the "Layout" step, add a "basement" level

2.  Place a garage door on a wall of the new level

 2-17 - Add basement and garage door

Draw and raise a space

 1.  In the "Exterior" step, click on the "Spaces" menu, then select the "Pavement" tool.

2.  Point by point, draw the space along the wall housing the garage, double-click on the last point to fix the layout.

💡 If the outside of the basement is "flat", use the "Pavement" or "Patio" space tools. These have a default elevation of "Horizontal".

2-17 - Create pavement space

3.  In the right-hand column, select elevation" "Base 1" (basement 1) to excavate the ground and clear the garage door.

2-17 - Modify pavement space elevation

4. Continue the exterior design: driveway/walkway and earth retentions using the dedicated tools.
