Separating Geometry

Before geometry can be exported into the Virtualwind file format, it must first be categorized, or "Separated". Separating geometry partitions it into three categories: "Solid" geometry (corresponding to Virtualwind Buildings), "Canopy" geometry, and "Terrain" geometry. This section explores how to perform that separation and how it fits into the "Virtualwind SketchUp Plugin lifecycle". The native SketchUp features that geometry separation depends upon will be looked at first.
