        @francoisvienne1 Your points are components instanced at the required altitude.

        Edit the component containing the component instances. Explode the guide point components so you have guides point realised into the model space.

        Exit group and then try generating terrain mesh.

            Hello Fredo, nice to meet you in the first place I have many addons from you and they are incredible. Regarding toposhaper please help me.. I have a terrain generated starting from an import from dwg. with 3d polylines. The problem is that the curves are not contained in the terrain as if you do it let s say with the native "from contour". In the pictures you can see the curves ( i activated transparency) and then without it you can see that in many areas they are inside the terrain. Can I make a setup in order to have the terrain exactly on the curves? I have tried to divide the curves with Tig's C points at vertex and than to use your trimesh terrain but it s a huge task, i prefere it from curves

              The Quad terrain does not respect extacly the isocontour curves. This is the price to pay to have a nicer quads surface.

              However, the surface is close enough to the curves.

                Indeed, thank you for the answer. Nevertheless I increased the mesh at maximum and now it s veeeeryyyy close, so yes, I m pleased with the result. For users like me...PLEASE LOOK IN ALL THE PARAMETERS and change the grid to where you consider it is sufficient. Again, thank you for your genius addons, I use them a lot, sketchup would be a pain without them.

                    Just select the Group from outside and launch TopoShaper.

                              @Rich-O-Brien It seems it's working with you, but not with me. Tried several times before but I'll give it another try.

                                  @Rich-O-Brien They are all the recent versions. But the model I've sent was copied from another file and pasted in a new one and saved afterwards. The contours group was under another group. Therefore I was trying in that parent group and from outside contours group. After I saw you were successful, I copied it and pasted outside, then tried again, it finally worked. So it does not work if the group is under another parent group. Is that the case?

                                    If your contours are nested, as in grouped in a group, then you will need to select contours after selecting the Parent group.

                                    If your contours are just a single group then Toposhaper treats that as the selection.
