Sunken Highways?

[Alky 16]

I'm trying to follow the first tutorial in "Show us your (Classic) Tutorials"  www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm on building a sunken highway but I must not have the method figured out because whenever I try to lower the terrain between the outside street tiles, it blows some of them up including the ones in the area that needs to be lowered.  I end up with an un-even crater like depression that looks nothing like the examples in the tutorial

Thanx for any help with this!

Sounds like you haven't left 1 tile space between the outside street and the inner lower tiles.

It should be: (1x outter road) (1x empty tile) (2x lower tile) (1x empty tile) (1x outter road).

I had the tiles laid out exactly as shown in the images in the tutorial. Then I used the terraforming tool that lowers terrain while holding down CTRL.  Where am I supposed to use that tool, between tiles, how, it blows up the tiles in it's path and those in the outside single rows ?

Ohh, I don't know which tutorial you're talking about!

Check out this one:

It's what I used to get started and it's very easy.

One thing to notice: If you actually use buddybud's walls, then you must dig a 14m hole, not a 15m!

Yes, what you need to do is get the smoncrie (sp?) hole digging packs. They have a hole digger for sunken highways.

Use that and flatten a TWO tile area from there until you want it to stop.
