I often place one platform inside another. For example I could draw out a path and place a house inside it. The path is calculated and then the house (which will have a deeper offset). This saves me having to manually omit the shape of the house from the path (this is what I thought of as "prioritising") and results in the path simply encompassing the building as desired.

I watched your Youtube video on Adjusting Subgrades to Formation and had never considered using site strip in the way you have explained. I am keen to try it. Once you get your head around what is happening I think the software can be a powerful tool.


Yes if you haven't already it is worth watching "Understanding Construction Phases & Calculation Order". 

Effectively the Strip element could be called "Reduce Level" and the Spread element "Raise Level" the offsets work slightly differently as they only apply to the element in question.  The strip\spread can be used across multiple elements\ground.
