How to reset/modify the height of a vertex/point?
-
hi, here's my case : let say i have a multi segmented line (for example : a shape with 100 line segments). This is just a general shape , can be any shape. the shape is suppose to be on the floor /ground ( zero height or z value =0), but let say for some reason , some of the point or line has been altered or moved so they're not at ground level anymore and the z distance is very small (let say 1mm or less) so we can't tell the different until we do macro zoom. With this condition , the 'generate faces' command will fail to generate a surface for that closed shape. So i have to reset the height of all the vertex/point to make them all lying on the same flat plane (or ground plane in this case).
My question are :
- how can we check if we got point/line that is not at ground level ( the z value is not 0) . Entity info only show the length data. Is it possible to alter the x,y,z data by entering numeric value of selected point/vertex?
- if we found the points or lines that are above the ground level, how do i reset them so the z value become 0. Do i have manually edit/move them one by one. Do we have a better or faster way ?
the goal is to make sure all the segments are on the same flat plane, so the generate face command won't fail.
Thanx -

Under Windows > Preferences > Extensions check the box for Utilities Tools and restart SketchUp
Under the Tools menu will be Utilities > Query Tool
Use this to determine the the height of each vertex by reading the status bar when hovering on vertices.

Try using Thomthom's Edge Tools here
Or use SketchUp's Drape tool under Windows > Preferences > Sandbox Tools

Thanx, i'll check the thomthom plugin and also the sandbox/drape.

Hi folks.
If you want to try it with SU's native tool, see this file for ideas:
