      @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.

            I also get the "cannot hide layer that is a part of the active path" error when trying to Generate Quadmesh from terrain. This error occurs even when selecting the contours that are grouped.

            What fixed it for me: move the group of contours to the root context. This error seems to come up if you are working within nested groups. TopoShaper seems to only work in the master context.
