warfs and waterlines?

[local_authority01 3]

I am wondering how I can have greater control over the water height of buildings that I place anlong my coasts?

I am using mostly PEG stuff and mainly have problems with the waterline around the SP buildings.  I want to have the warfs of these buildings stick higher out over the water but when I place them they are too close to the waterline.

I have tried a ton of differant things with the terrain leveling to have these buildings have higher warfs but nothing I am doing is working.  I dont know why this is happening because last night I had warfs a better height but I did have a slightly differant shoreline.  Is there somthing I can do with the terrain, etc. to allow greater control to make higher warfs?

There is a basic tutrorial on how to make wharfs wrok here.

You can use that or the road tile method where you place single road tiles alonf the edge of your waterline then place the wharf in a hole between the road tiles. The road tiles will keep the terrain level.

Thanks.  I have seen the tuturials here and at pegs site, but I will try what you mentioned with placing my warfs along roads to keep it level.  Lol, I dont know why I didn't think of it.  I will try it out and post back if it works or not.

Now that's tricky! 

I fought with placement of the ferry terminal for what seemed like hours the other day.  Thanx for the tip!!

Arrgh!!! I still cant get the warfs of my seaports and waterfront to be the height that I want them. When I place them, the height that I set for them during placement doesnt stick. I have tried using roads and using different heights for my coastline, but when I place the buildings they level my coasts edge and the warfs plopp too close to the waterline.

I am not sure if warf height is even controllable because it hasnt been working for me lately. I do remember having the warfs at a better waterline height in a different map but I have no idea how I accomplished that. Probably just dumb luck. You would think that the warf height for waterfront buildings would be more controlable because there is a shadow during placement for raising or lowering the warfs. I can just not get it to work!!!

If anyone has more tips and insight on control and placement of a wafs waterline please let me know. Thanks
