Filling gaps in a terrain
-
Maybe your computer was not hung over today...
It is probably up to the hardware anyway but I don't need too big resolutions now so I don't care. The next will be some 1500x1050 pixel things but that's just a snap for today (I'll need all those section cuts and everything I don't want to bother with now at night).
-
gai, understood perfectly. thanks.
however, my first question is still unanswered: how to fill those gaps? or how to add to a rolling surface?
regards to all.

Edson,
First of all I'd probably turn hidden geometry on, then depending on the nature of the TIN there (which cannot be seen in the pic) there are more possibilities. We'd probably need the skp file to say more (or to fix it).

Edson, I restitched the terrain (more or less as it could have been in the original). There are still some lines there - you can delete them if you wish (I did not want because you may still want them). The link to the model
Is this what you wanted?

yes! thank you very much.
could you please tell me how you did it? like they say, better than giving the fish away is teaching how to get it from the sea.
cheers.edson

Simply hand-stitched. Tried to follow the dotted (smoothed) lines where possible to regain the original terrain - at some places I had to "improvise" though.

this thread was very, very helpful. you guys opened my eyes to a number of features that i was not aware of. i had a look at the manual just to make sure i got the whole picture. thank you all.

okay, I found out what is happening with the zero offset. When I type in the zero, SketchUp appears to accept it, except if you zoom in on the selected offset, it is clear that it is not behaving as if it were zero. In fact it appears to create an offset of 1 despite the fact that the VCB shows 0.
If I type in .001 that is accepted and the offset might as well be zero.
Dylan, I wonder if you could test this on your machine. Is that the result that you were really getting? -
Hi Susan,
Well I tried this test a little more closely and you are correct, you cannot use 0.
If I use zero, it does work, but to a default of 25mm. On a large drawing you probably would not see this but close up you can.If I type in 0.001 as you suggested then it will not work, but 0.1 does.
So if I wish to have a zero offset in the future, then 0.1 it will be - a tenth of a millimetre is good enough for me
-
i had the same problem. while trying the zero offset, it kept returning to the default value. as soon as i put something more than zero it worked.
