      Hi all, I often do very large landscapes. I find that I am forever stitching paths etc. It defies logic to me as I cannot close some/most planes without a lot of stitching. Even this process deifies logic as usually chase the closed polygone to a point of the polygone will not close.........it is a point! What further troubles me is when I finish after sometimes hours of work it becomes the plane I wanted proving it always was a planar polygon. Can anyone enlighten me. 😠

      Have attached an image about what I mean

      OK I wont attach an image as this site is not allowing that ATM

      Cheers

        How about attaching a sample SKP file?

            Hmmmm.... Usually when faces need to be triangulated it's because the points are slightly off in the Z direction. That doesn't appear to be the case with your model. How did you go about drawing the curves for the paths? It was simple enough to clean up, though.

              Hi Dave when it came back to me it was not "cleaned up" weird huh? What else is wierd is I can add a model but not an image ATM (very small file). So have returned your file to you to have a look at. mmmmm.skp

              Cheers and thanks foe the assistance.

                Oh, I created it with curves on an image. The image is hidden.

                  Weird. This is what I see. All those triangles are gone.

                  I wonder why you can't upload images. What file extension are you trying to upload?

                    Dave I just got rid of all the faces in the model and it was a simple matter of drawing a few lines to remake the poly planar's.........quite easy...but still don't really understand ❓ Maybe I dont need to know.

                    Where you able to select the pathways only when you fixed it?

                        To be honest, I didn't try. I was rushing to get ready for work. I'd have to look at it again when I get home.

                        It doesn't have to be a PNG. That's what I always use. You should also be able to upload .jpg and .bmp if it's not too large.
