I bought additional land joining to my exsisiting plot. The land was lower than the land that my building is on. When I attempted to raise the newly purchased strip of land, an area of about 10 meters by 10 meters just sunk down about 5 meters and caused a large crater. No matter what I try, I can not bring that section of land to the original level. The result is that one third of the foundation of the building is now exposed and just hanging in mid air.
I have also noticed that when two owners have a joint property line and both properties are lowered, a peak remains at the property line. Is there no way to get rid of that peak (ridge), even though the two owners agree that they want it flat? I am now looking for a new plot of land and hope that I can link all objects in and out of the house so I can restart my project. I also know that if I just lifted the house and leveled the land underneath, the entire plot will be much lower and the house would be in a gully, next to high risers.
I sure need some help with this one and I'm wondering if the raise, lower and flatten land funtions have been reprogrammed to avoid players from building mountains around others properties and structures, cause that's what happened to me.
Any comments are appreciated
Peter

Is your crater by chance near the border of another sim? What are the coordinates of the crater. The same thing happened to some of my land, and when someone went to try to fix it, it only got worse. I am trying to determine if being on/next to sim border has something to do with it or not.

if "old land" was adjusted beyond 45 degrees with the old tools and you now come along and try to adjust it with the newer tool set you often get unwanted results. Reason being you used to be able to freely adjust land whereas now you can only adjust to a 45 degree angle. Its worse on sim edges.

I had bought the land in front of Zanlew's and it had water in it. However at the time I had no clue I had purchased land over two sims. When I went to flatten the land out it was like it ripped a shred through time and space because it dropped the land 5 meters all the way back to the edge of Zanlews property. When I tried to start fixing it, it kept spreading. We called in reinforcements by asking a few Lindens to help but to no avail it continued to Unravel. Finally I just stopped messing with it because I was informed that it would be looked into and taken care of.
Lesson Learned-if you can afford it buy the property you want then, in small parcels buy the land around it. This way you can edit your land the way you want up and over into the other parcels. Then when complete with the editing release them back and wala flat land no ridges.
Second Lesson Learned. never edit on a SIm Line. between two servers. because if they are not exactly in sink with eachother disasterous effects such as earth quakes / Sink Holes happen which leave duck Ponds that Lindens haven't been able to fix like at Zanlews
