New versions (v1.26) of Tgi3D SU plugins have been released!
-
Hello All,
I would like to announce the release of new versions (v1.26) of Tgi3D plugins for SketchUp. We added new tools to Tgi3D SU Amorph and PhotoScan's arsenal along with some minor updates and fixes.
The following new tools have been added:
Map to terrain: This utility applies a warping function that transforms the xy-plane to a given target, typically terrain data from Google Earth. It has different options regarding component instances for mapping to terrain; none, translate, rigid (translate and rotate), affine, and full.
Channel extrude: This tool is somewhat similar to TIG's “extrude edge along a path” except it keeps the profile rotation restricted to the z axis. Thus a horizontal edge remains horizontal throughout the extrusion. This is useful to create roads, landfill skirts (where the skirting angle is specified), or hedges etc. This tool is included unrestricted in the free Training version of Tgi3D SU Amorph.
Resample path: This utility takes regular samples along given path(s). Along with Chris Fulmer's “component stringer” this is handy when placing lamp posts, lane separators etc. along a curving, rising, etc. road at regular intervals. This tool is included unrestricted in the free Training version of Tgi3D SU Amorph.
Here is a quick video that shows Map to terrain and Channel extrude tools in action.
Enjoy!
