Excessive Hidden Lines
-
Does anyone know a simple way to reduce the amount of lines on this site plan? Seems a bit excessive to me.
-
Check this plugin: CleanUp³

I like using the regular make terrain plugin. However, before I use it, I simplify contours either with curvizard or edgetools2
-
I'd also do what JQL recommends and simplify the contours.
However, if you're going to sculpt the terrain, Toposhaper [i think pbacot was referring to this?] would give you a regular grid but you'll need to isolate the contours. Alternatively, 'Drape Cpoints' + 'Triangulate Points' could be used over the existing mesh to get a similar clean mesh if you don't use Instant Terrain.

Cleanup would reduce unnecessary lines --co planar edges.
I would use Instantterrain plugin by Valiarchitects which can lay a new and regular surface over existing geometry.Or if you can extract contours you can do that with Topomaker.
*woops. "TopoShaper"

Looking at your picture again. That's a CRAZY number of edges. How'd that get there?

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try out JQL's idea. In the meantime I have attached the site plan SU file. I'm not sure why there is sooo many lines.

Those many lines are the way sketchup has to convert CAD splines into sketchup curves with high accuracy. You probably don't need that much accuracty for terrain contours.
