im wondering if it is possible to create zerg buildings on physical terrain without the slimy creep being present... using scmdraft or any other editor if necessary?

I don't think stopping creep is realistically possible, though there have been many debates on the subject. No terrain "blocks" creep, except unwalkable terrain, but often using unwalkable terrain is more trouble than it's worth.

You have two options:
1. Have buildings on unbuildable terrain (water, etc)
2. Use a sprite image.
The problem with both of these is that the buildings must be pre-placed. Also, the sprite cannot be selected and any unit can go through it and build on it.
I don't believe you can simply get rid of creep. Some one correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is currently impossible.

It is possible to remove creep by using an extractor.
The extractor may be created on the creep and then killed, leaving a geyser in its place.
The creep under the geyser disappears immediately, the geyser can then be removed.
With this, you can creep-less zerg buildings, even on open ground.

Can this also be done with refineries and assimilators, or only extractors because they're zerg buildings?
Anyway, interesting to hear there at least is a way, I'll keep that in mind in case I ever need it.

EDIT: the creep, of course

You could, for example, take a chunk out of the creep around a creep colony, it would not fill back in on its on.
If you created another creep colony nearby, it would kick it back into "grow" mode, and the hole would disappear.
By the way, you'll need a wait between killing the extractor and removing the geyser.

Ah, so I guess this only works as long as the creep does not grow anymore?

If you use the terrain pallete "Installisation" there will be NO creep at all.
