I have found placing a house on a sloping terrain (and making it look good!!) is so difficult and I have scoured the internet trying to find how to do this...finally...thank you for this tutorial, it has helped me rethink a little and try again :) and I agree with Max's comment "More tutorials regarding site modeling are always welcome..."

[PaulineFerguson]

Fascinating, and inspirational to watch how others interact with the terrain - it's easier to come up with more interesting ways to work, if you know you're going to be able to draw it.

Awesome and very helpful! Would love a video incorporating a plot plan with elevations and how to make a swimming pool fit the existing grade and how walls could be added in. Is there anyway to show a 2% slope on a patio vs it being completely level??

Coolest SketchUp video, amazing, Thanks Justin...

Thank you very much! You appearantly save my life. 😭

Great tips. Soap skin for site mesh is a clever application. It seems way smootger than fighting with smoove. Perhaps Artisan or SUbD are useful here? Would love a tut on artisan. Could joint push pull reliably extrude to flat without the 1 inch margin issue?

Thank you for uploading the video.Very usefull

Thank you for this video. Once you have the building footprint in place, how would you go about adding landscape plantings to the slope created? Also, how can you create landscape bed lines where the mulch would meet the grass on a slope like this? Thank you!!

[neillellman]

Thanks for this awesome video Justin. Quick question (as a novice in comparison), how does the stamp tool differ to extruding the building into the terrain and then using the trim command in solid tools?

Thanks this was absolutely perfect, actually perfect timing to
