      Ok, thanks Sam.Just on GE:
      I noticed in your Clip or Trim tutorial you merge two terrains of differing proxy. Does GE determine the resolution of your export into SU by your current eye high as well as the maximum resolution you end up with?

      I have a situation at the moment where I want to obtain the maximum resolution of of GE however my site covers about 3 hectares and I need to cover it with a GE image.

      I wonder if there is a way recall you last selection when exporting GE imagery or even replicate your selection left and right multiplied by how far you want? [See image below...]

      Cheers,

        Thers is no way to "automate" that that I am aware of.

          You guys are absolute legends. You take modeling to a whole new level.

          I was hesitant to join SketchUcation because i hate useless info, but honestly: you guys rock!

          Special thanx to Gaieus and ThomThom for their constant useful contributions.

                Hi Sam, during your tutorial video at about 1:20 you say, 'If its only zoomed out 3 or 4 clicks....'

                What are you referring too here?

                πŸ‘

                  I viewed the tutorial and I don't hear what you heard but I would assume that I am referring to zooming out from the smallest possible patch 3 or 4 clicks.

                    Thanks for the reply, Sam.

                    At about 1min 20sec you refer to 'if its only zoomed out 3 or 4 clicks [no more than that] the grid of the two patches match....'

                    Are you referring to zooming in Google Earth:

                      Yes, the Google Earth get location zoom. I thought you were talking about the clip and trim plugin not the add skirt.

                          Is there a way to make these plugins work with SU 8?

                            Are you getting errors?
                            The author uses SU8 - as his profile says - and usually if a plugin doesn't work with a version it's explicitly stated in the plugin description. I believe this should work with SU8.

                                Sorry. I'm learning to use google/SU terrain tools as they are quite handy for making large terrains as opposed to Max.

                                Gaieus helped me out on the Lumion forum and I was able to get everything going.

                                      Hello Experts,
                                      When I use this plugin it tells me to select a Google Terrain patch
                                      I have a trianglar mesh terrain file which is very big
                                      How can I add a skirt and also add a bottom make it into a solid?

                                      I have tried TIG's jointpush and pull tool, but I only manage to do the skirt and
                                      cannot manage to get a solid. (Unless manually....but thats too much work)
                                      Thanks
                                      Michiel

                                        The Add Terrain Skirt plugin on my blog page does not require the mesh to be a Google Earth Terrain.

                                          • So why don't you post the improved plugin (that does not require the mesh to be a Google Earth Terrain) here at Sketchucation?

                                          It is a bit easier for people to install it using the Sketchucation Extension Store directly from within SU.

                                            Because I don't want to?

                                            Download from the blog. Send to a compressed folder. change extension from zip to rbz. Install as usual.
