[Plugin][$] TopoShaper - v2.7a - 01 Apr 24

I just used this on imported contours that I had reworked in CAD beforehand. Toposhaper was the smoothest part of the whole operation. Looking good. If you need another real world case, I can send it. I also made some simple fill outlines from the building and edges from the mesh. Ran Toposhaper to create those as well. Thanks Fredo!

I am indeed interested by this real world case!

Thanks

Fredo, what can I say...and my parents were telling me that Santa dit not exist !! I'll try it right now and give you some feedback, but I'm already give you my BRAVO !

Regards.

Ahhh, toposhaper from cloud points! Just what I needed when I asked this question:

Thank you Fredo. You are genius!!!

I too am happy to send you real world case, Fredo. I have a few good surveys that I can send you....

One question re: cloud points: when a survey file is sent you to the points are provided as just that; points. Do I have to somehow convert them to guide points? And if so, how??

super plugin congratulations Fredo6,
is it possible for you to improve the plugin by adding the stamp function because the basic function of Sketchup does not function well with a non-flat platform.
we could from the current stamp function by adding a regular slope adjustment feature. (angle parameter).
Because of Sketchup stamp function offers a parrallel offset.
this feature could be ideal for earthmoving ground with regular slope even allows pente.it's draw on autocad perfectly calibrated slope and sutout non parrallel.
excuse me for my English I am french
thank you

hi, I am a draftsman in an architectural firm, the "toposhaper" function is beautiful, congratulations FREDO 6, it works great.

I have an idea to improve the plug-in by adding a function on the basis of the tool "STAMP" to create platform on an existing field (created by toposhaper) with a side slope adjustment function that will permit to have non parrallel slope to the platform.
What about you? -
Is this possible?
The "STAMP" of Sketchup does not work very well and slopes are parrallel to the platform.

Thank you.
Sorry for my English, I'm French

NEW RELEASE: TopoShaper v2.1a - 25 Mar 14

This release provides a documented service API to calculate terrains from isocontours. It also fixes a few bugs.

See main post of this thread for Download of TopoShaper.

Thank You Fredo...

Hi Fredo,

Do you think adding csv import to Toposhaper is feasible?

This would make terrain generation much more unified into one tool rather than installing 2 plugins to what you need in one.

I think I said this before. Excellent work on this!

When I use it I wish the grid could be set to a standard horizontal square dimension and set to always align to the origin. then work can be more easily patched and combined.

Another wish is for the edges to be restricted to conform (close as possible) to land on a bounding contour. Again this will help joining with other forms.

pilou

does toposhaper can use this sort of file ?
Because it generates bugs!
(I have last version Prog / Lib )

test_topo.skp

Pilou,

What do you mean by 'use'.

Did you generate the terrain via Toposhaper QaudMesh instead?

Start from this file

No just speedy by hand for the grid (a copy/Move square) + SandBox for deformation

The plugin requires Point cloud or isocontours.

requires Point cloud

Seems that is the key !
When I create points from the file then use TopoShaper that works!
(except for the little triangle bottom left corner? )

PS The alert message when you select points who are not a group/ component is empty!

fredo6

Pilou,

Could you post the file with the point cloud. I'll check for the missing triangle and the missing message.

Which Sketchup version do you use by the way?

Fredo

pilou

It was from the file previous linked!
But here with the points!
I have the 2015 and all at the last versions (plug and Lib) !

test_topo_points.skp

pilou

Resolved!
We must press Concave contour first!

When I run the toposhaper using terrain generator, although the contour lines setting is set to 1.0' increments, the first contour line above O.O' becomes 0.783' instead of 1.0'. After that, the contour line intervals are all 1.0' apart.

What could be the cause of this? How can I fix this?

Thanks. Ben
