sorry for all the questions recently.


Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possibly to build a four wall structure, either using a foundation or a walls underneath a hill, with maybe a little bit of structure coming out of the hill, with an entrance, so you can enter into the hidden structure with in the hill.


Hope you get what I mean lol.


Suggestions appreciated. ;)

okay looks like I can maybe use the basement tool, but seeing as I don't really want any building visible above ground, just an entrance into the hill, this is where the difficult bit lies.

I think I have found a work around, using something else instead of a hill. Fingers crossed there are no problems when I test it. :)

Hey fiery,

I'm building a lot that could use some burying, too bad there isn't a good way of doing this.

What is your work around?

OMG, I was planning on posting something along those lines. I can't remember who did it but I'll post when I figure it out. There is a tutorial about making underground rabbit holes... if I can find it, it might be what you are looking for. I think it might have been by Meester Mark? I was a really cool tutorial. I have found some plans that are made for sloping lots, where from the front you see 1 story, but it has a walk out basement in the back. Anyone know how to do this? thx!

yeah the rabbithole things is not quite what I was after. I can do the whole underground thing, it is just submerging an entrance into a hill that I was after, but I spent all night on it and just can't work out a way to do it, evening using CFE it just either pushes up the walls or pushes away the hill. So I gave up on that idea and came up with an idea similar to what I wanted using a roof instead ;)
