Note: Topo Shaper can handle many more vertices than From Contour can handle. Note: TINs in SketchUp are notoriously difficult to work with. Opening the Hidden Geometry (from the View menu) to examine the TIN (16:25)
Using the From Contour tool to generate the contours and create a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) made of stitched-together faces (16:18) Using the Simplify Contours tool (native SketchUp tool) to simplify the contours brought in from CAD (15:55) This can bog down SketchUp and cause it to slow down. Note: When you bring in contours from CAD, they often contain too many vertices. You can obtain many of them from the Extension Warehouse.Ģ Generate terrain – Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) to Meshģ Overlay roads, trails, walks – flatworkĤ Extrude structures like buildings, walls, and stepsĥ Integrate structures into terrain – re-gradeĦ Drop blocks and replace: Site amenities and vegetationġ4:43 – 21:12: Generating Terrain in SketchUpĢ ways to generate terrain in SketchUp (14:43):ġ The From Contour tool from the Sandbox menuĢ The Topo Shaper tool (available at ) List of Terrain Modeling Tools & ExtensionsĮxtensions are the SketchUp version of apps.
