Sandbox Tools

Hi everybody :

                When using SANDBOX /FROM SCRATCH,  how do I adjust the distance between lines.  In Sketchup 8, looks like the default is 10 feet.   Question :  wouldn't a smaller distance allow for a smoother terrain ?

                                                    garystan

After selecting From Scratch, keyin the desired cell size then define the grid. Certainly smaller would mean smoother. Just means a lot more edges and faces to deal with.

              Okay.....I see what you mean,   I selected Sandbox / From Scratch.  Then...BEFORE......drawing out the  "perimeter".....type in the 5' (instead of the default 10').  But, make sure you press ENTER **before** you do the layout.  Thanks for your help.               garystan
