      I seem to be having the same problem as Wyatt, vertices only move to Z=0 no matter what method I use. I can't post the SKP as it is a large site model. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with Version 1.2.

      Thanks

                Thank you so much Dear TIG for this brand new tool.

                ("to middle" and "to average" options don't work for me with su6_free and su7_pro)

                Coming back to the thread which had (re)initiated the need for such a tool: What's the best way to flatten some geometry lines

                I'm trying the old problem (not solved by SandboxTools/stamp)to achieve to drop vertices of a 3d path onto a 3d terrain. (I would like start with a path "melted up an down", "included" with/into the terrain)
                I have made my road/path triangulated (with Sandboxtools/from contour)
                Tip: I use [Plugin] Select Outer Edges v1.0 by Chris Fullmer to select outer edges 😒

                But Whatever the option I choose with Drop Vertices I got aberrant result 😕


                http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/thdropverts_001.jpg

                to nearest object , to nearest below..

                http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/thdropverts_002.jpg

                Any Idea ??

                (Alternatively, I have tried "Drape CPoints" + "Triangulate Points" and also "Artisan"€ and this one gives the better results for me from now, using "Crease Selection" Edges+vertices on the total path face .

                    Bonjour TIG 😄

                    OK, I was confused on the concepts Drape/Drope.

                    I have discovered that the kind of subdivision is important. Until now I was trying to drape with some classical triangulated shapes and that's why the result wasn't working.

                    As I have seen with your example above it was possible, I have discovered that shapes must be subdivided by real tin subdivision.(as far)


                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/thdropverts_005.jpg


                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/thdropverts_006.jpg

                    (I see we can't obtain this way something like we can do with sandboxtool/Stamptool but with a 3D path.)

                    Anyway This DropVertices brings so much !!!!+++ Thank you one more time and bravo!! TIG

                        Dear Adam,
                        your videos are invaluable to understand easily how things work and as reminders.
                        I have watched your previous a number of times.

                        I'm studying your propositions (soapskin&buble _ instant road (which makes the deal 👍 👍 ) and I'm thinking to others. It's for tomorrow now.

                        Cheers,

                           simon.

                              Like 'On Screen Rolling Reel' - 'SplitUp' has never been published.
                              It's in beta testing with a select group [Rich O'B].
                              The bugs are now ironed out... I'll speak with the other[s] to see what we should do next...

                                Don't forget my NURBS plugin that's fairly stable. Just too powerful for mere mortals.

                                      Scant on what you've tried...
                                      arcs/curves do not drop unless they are exploded first...
                                      but see this example...

                                        Here is v2.0 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=dropverts It now overcomes the curve issue.
                                        All edges in a dropped curve are now treated as separate edges.
