      First of all let me apologize in advance for any English mistake I will write.

      My question is: when I get a terrain mesh from google earth in Sketchup, is there a way to show all the edges of the triangles composing the mesh? And also: Is there a way to reduce the size of these triangles?

      Thank you all for the time you will spend answering my noob questions. ☀

        Do you mean View> Hidden Geometry? Or Window> Soften Edges?

        Reducing the size of the triangles seems to be the same as doubling, which can be done in the Sandbox tools "Add Detail"

        Also there is a lot of info/ tutorials on you tube for Google Earth/ Sketchup.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          Thank you very much for your quick answer Mitcorb.

          The answer was even simpler than I thought.

          About changing the size of the triangles: I already used the add detail tool to increase the number of triangles, but what I meant (sorry if I couldn't be clear the first time)
          is: is there a setting or a technique to choose freely the size of the triangles composing said mesh when I get it from Google Earth?

          Thanks again for your time.
