Construction tab in model data under Construction header
If the site level Ground modelling method is set to 4-Kiva Full then options are made available on the Constructions tab for surfaces in contact with the ground and also at building, block and zone levels for setting defaults for ground-adjacency surfaces.
If you are at surface level and the current surface has an adjacency to a Kiva foundation then check this checkbox. If you are at building, block or zone level then you can use this checkbox to set the default if the majority of the ground adjacent surfaces in that object have an adjacency with a Kiva foundation.
Tip: If all (or most) ground-adjacent floors and walls in the building are to linked to Kiva foundations then you should check this option at building level and select the most commonly used Kiva foundation (below).
If you are at surface level and the above Kiva adjacency checkbox is checked then select the appropriate Kiva foundation . If you are at building, block or zone level then you can use this checkbox to set the default Kiva foundation.
If the site level Ground modelling method is set to 3-Ground domain then an option will be available on the Constructions tab for surfaces in contact with the ground and also at building, block and zone levels for setting defaults.
Select the type of ground domain that the surface is in contact with from the list:
Select the ground domain in contact with this surface from the drop list of available domains.
Tip: Domain-surface connection settings can be made at any of building, block, zone and surface levels. Setting data at building, block or zone level provides a quick way to associate multiple ground adjacent surfaces to a single ground domain.
