Good tips on the retaining wall modifier and the Graphic Attributes. I am going to try the retaining wall trick next time. Thanks for your comments, François.

I'm glad you spent some time on the site model, because that's one of Vectorworks' most powerful BIM features. The Plant Area tool is also a huge productivity help. A couple of things I should mention. You can use retaining wall objects (another type of site modifier) to get true sheer drops on your site. It's true you can't change the relative colors of proposed and existing contours; that would be a cool feature. You can, however, change line weights and dash styles from the Graphic Attributes button of the Site Modifier dialog box. Here's a screen shot: http://is.gd/2A6pc Greg, that’s a great review.
