Unfortunately that's not the problem. And as soon as I activate Smoove, SU goes unresponsice for a couple of minutes.

Hi, my name is Anette and I'm studying landscape architecture. I just downloaded SketchUp Pro yesterday and I'm exited to finally get started with it. Unfortunately I've already encountered my first real problem. I created a grid from the From Scratch tool, and then created a form on it using the Drape tool. I was then going to try to create contours by using Smoove, but as soon as selected that tool SU went into non responding mode. When it came to again there were yellow "dots" all over the form, and it was not possible to see the Smoove "ring" anywhere. Selecting the form just caused the whole form to be elevated (and not get the mounds I was intending to get.) Anyone have a solution? Appreciate the help!!
