Fredo6 Toposhaper Error

Chip_Cookie

Dear All, and @fredo6

I am getting an error when invoking TopoShaper.

My setup: Macbook pro M2, Sonoma 14.5, Sketchup pro 2024 v0.554, latest versions of Fredo6 library and TopoShaper.

The error file is reads:

Date: 04-Jul-24 08:16:04 - SU2024.0
An error occurred in CLEANSING
The operation is fully aborted

The topo lines were imported into Sketchup from a dwg file. I would attach the files, but I can't see to do that.

Anyone have any ideas? If not, how do I send Fredo6 the error report?

Thanks,

Tom

@Chip_Cookie
Use Toposhaper from outside the group not inside.

Rich O Brien

@Chip_Cookie If you @fredo6 he'll see it. If you want to share a file you could try a cloud hosting

@Chip_Cookie one thing you could try while waiting for Fredo is to remove the tags from the geometry in the import .dwg. Make sure all of the edges areuntagged.

@Dave-R

Unfortunately, I still get the error:

I will do the @tag thing.

Maybe this works:

@Chip_Cookie I ran TopoShaper on your contours and got this.

It's in SU2024. What steps did you take when you ran it?

149 Big Hill from DWG Contours Scaled topo.skp

One more thing, the native Sandbox tool 'from contours' works fine.

@fredo6 @Dave-R ,

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.
