[Plugin][$] TopoShaper - v2.7a - 01 Apr 24

One suggestion.. Can you make option maybe in the next reliese.. "Stick with orriginal contours" for triangulated mesh.. So the plugin would not make triangles between not adjacent contour lines (for example one point of triangle on hight=2m another h=3m and third h=5m). Could be done by inforcing engine to require for points two the same hights and fird different.. simple check.. I'm crab with programming but could be nice add on.. I usually have to stick with orriginal contours...

Fredo, could Toposhaper follow the contours as shown on attached gif?
And, generally speaking, is doable to make a bridge to this external free retopologizer?
(https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes)
Or make something similar but independent ?

Well. I know how to constrain the triangulation to the contours. Simply, that's not a trivial development and it requires some time. But it should come.

Thoughts? If it is helpful i have attached the file i am having trouble with.

OK upon further inspection the errors above were causd by a conflict between toposhaper and the flux.io plugin for sketchup. Hope this is helpful for someone.

After created a terrain, is there a way to show the "grid" on it? I see only the surface but would be nice to see the points of the grid for editing.

fredo6 · 26 Oct 2016, 10:31

Are you generating the terrain

from Isocontours
or from a point cloud ?

And what is exactly the "grid" you mention. Is it the 'flat' horizontal grid used for projection ?

Hi everyone.
I am an architect in Turkey.
I model my terrain but I dont put my road in my terrain.
It gives an error. (Unable to triangulate road surface. Try using smaller max road Segment Lenght.)

I try lots of times but it gives same error.

Please look at attachment. Pls help me.

Why not use the SandBox / Project ?

Hello Fredo: I just started using Toposhaper. It works fine, but the dialog box text is so small I can hardly see the text. Is there a way to adjust the text size? I am using an iMac with Retina display.

Thank you for all your contributions...

I am having trouble installing the toposhaper extension in SUMaker2017 and get the following after restarting SU. Any suggestions would be appreciated

You seem to have missed off the error message ?
Have you also installed the needed LibFredo?
Also check that both Extensions are activated and restart SketchUp to ensure any changes/additions are fully integrated...
