      Hi Fredo,
      *) How do I solve 'needle eye' obstacle (see attached)? Plugin get stuck at this stage forever.
      *) Second very primitive mesh crashes on generating. Could you take a look at this example?
      P.S. I always had scruples to ask, What is purpose of this 2nd 'zoomed' mesh in beige square?

      Thanks

      Your models seems 'unprepared' for TopoShaper. I don't see contour lines, but instead lot of edges with intersections and different altitudes.

      The blocking on Needle Eye is actually just a Ruby error due to the convoluted configuration of contours, but even if I fixed it, I don't see how you can generate a terrain from your input data.

      Fredo

          I was wondering if there is a limit to how detailed a ISO lines terrain can be to work with Toposhaper?
          As you can see in the attached image only a part of the terrain is created. If I try with a less dense contour file of the same area it works but I need the detail as high as possible.

            The typical usage of TopoShaper is to smooth out the terrain, using isocontours as guides for altitude. The precision of the contours is not necessary (i.e. does not need closely spaced contours, nor many points in the contour curves), and anyway in relation with the resolution of the mesh.

            All this being said, I am impressed by the large model you have.

              Bonjour Fredo,

              Après installation de la dernière version de Toposhaper (2.3b) et de LibFredo6 v8.1h, Toposhaper ne s'execute pas à l'ouverture de Sketchup, renvoyant un message d'erreur qui est le suivant : "you must install LibFredo6 to run Toposhaper
              Open the download page of LibFredo6 at https....".

              Après vérification dans l'extension manager, LibFredo est pourtant bien installé. Une idée sur l'origine du bug ?

                Il faut verifier que LibFredo6 est bien chargé. Est ce qu'il y a un menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings.... ?

                  Maybe you can make just smaller portions and join them in the end?

                    Hello,
                    Great plugin, however I am having an issue, after generating the terrain from guide points, using the toolbar, and clicking off elsewhere, the toolbar disappears and I can't seem to get it back to modify the terrain. How can I get the toolbar back after it has disappeared?
                    David.

                      Can you open the Ruby console, as there may be an error.

                      Did the terrain generate correctly by the way?

                        I just try TopoShaper with a point cloud with more than 130.000 points out of a ASCII-File. How I can import it in SU and make any kind of terrain model?
                        Any ideas and suggestions are most welcome!! 😎 ☀

                          I don't think TopoShaper can handle 130,000 points; and I don't think either that Sketchup will not scream with a mesh of 130,000 vertices.
                          So you'll probably have to find a way, with other tools to simplify the input points or raw mesh, either simplifying, or cutting in pieces if the cloud covers a very large area. I don't know if there are Ruby scripts in Sketchup to do that, but I know there are specialized terrain software that can do it. There are several discussion threads in Sketchucation and Sketchup forums about terrains.

                            I'm trying to use Toposhaper to create a topo from points. I have points selected and when I run the plugin all I get is a blank error.

                              Hi,

                              It would be helpful that you attach your model so that I can investigate. Thanks.

                                  You just need to put all contruction points and the contour within a Group, then select the group and run TopoShaper Cloud.

                                  Note that your model seems to have some points which create peaks.

                                    What can be the reason of such error of TopoShaper?
                                    It appears on SketchUp17 and 18, if I try very simple terrain, just of 2 or 3 curves.

                                      Put your SKP, that can be helping! 😉

                                        As I said it happens in any file, just if I try to create a terrain from 2 simple curves drawn by "freehand".

                                          Could you indicate the text of the error (just just give the files and line numbers), as well as post one of this simple model with free-hand drawn curve.

                                          Many thanks

                                          Fredo
