Fredo6 Toposhaper Error
-
@Chip_Cookie I ran TopoShaper on your contours and got this.
It's in SU2024. What steps did you take when you ran it?
-
One more thing, the native Sandbox tool 'from contours' works fine.

@Chip_Cookie
Use Toposhaper from outside the group not inside. -
My mistake was not having the contour group as the outermost container. I had two groups, Contours group and Plat group, inside another group I called Survey. If I select (but don't enter) the Contour group within Survey and try to apply TopoShaper it fails. If I explode Survey, then select Contour, it works great.
Thank you both for your help.

Dear Fredo, I have been trying for 2 days now to get Toposhaper to work in Sketchup and keep getting the the same error messsage "cannot hide layer that is a part of the active path". You have said a few times in various forums that you have to use Toposhaper from outside the group not inside, but I do not understand what you exactly mean with this.
I import contour lines from autocad cilvil 3d to sketchup as a dwg file. (these contour work fine in Sandbox). I then put the contours in a seperate group. Then I select the contours in that group and start Toposhaper, it then works for a while and then I get the mentioned error message.
Toposhaper has worked on 2-3 occissions, but it never was clear to me why it worked in tose cases. I could never replicate it afterwards.
-
You might be inside the group.
Go outside, select the group and call TopoShaper. This should work.
-
Sorry for being ignorant but I do not understand what you mean by being in the group?
I have created a group with only the contour lines in it. How do I selct that group without being in it?
-
This is a videao of what I am doing, maybe that helps....
-
Just click on the group. Toposhaper will pick what is inside.
-
It does, but then I get the error message, see the video......
