Plug-In Request - Raise contours?
-
Hi,
I often use sketchup for landscape models and spend a lot of time raising or lowering contours to the height that I need.
Then it occurred to me that there may be a plug-in that would automate this process, or that some clever person may be able to write one!
What I require is a way to take an existing set of contour lines that are all at 0 feet/metres and then be able to pick one contour line and set its required height to say 10 feet, with subsequent selected and/or adjoining contours to be raised by an incremental height that I can pre-select.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

It's quite possible... but before anyone jumps in to make it
... have you tried PushPull?
Group your contours and add a large flat face for them to intersect with - adjusting their extents etc as needed.
Now you can PushPull the face between the contours to the required level.
Other matching contours can be 'matched' within PushPull by picking a point on a previously made one.
If you know that your contours are at 5' intervals then PushPull one 5' and subsequently a PushPull with a double-click on a face will lift/drop that face by the last used amount, double-click again and the amount doubles, again and it trebles and so on...
When done erase the side edges to remove the faces between contours...Sometimes a native technique can be as quick as using a custom tool...
