    • Advance use of drape tool

      Hi,

      I have a terrain generate by TopoShaper amd I want project items on it.
      I can use Drape tool from Sandbox toolbar but in this way the projection is part of terrain (drape tool add mesh on terrain. I need have the projection as separate object and show/hide it on terrain.

      Is there a way or a plugin for it?

      Thanks for "skatter ($$) o raytracer (free) o component spray (free)" suggestion.

      @panixia said:

      looks like you are using displacement without the "keep continuity" option (or whatever that's called in sketchup vray i don't remember) turned off, is that?!?

      "keep continuity" is active on VRAY.
      In any case the problem is the displacement. With material without "displacement" I don't have this problem.

    • Terrain rendering

      I tried to use VRAY for first time.
      I get a problem with terrain model. As you can see on picture on grass there are mesh lines.

      Where am I doing wrong?

    • Terrain modeling

      I have created a terrain by TopoShaper plugin and isocontour.
      Part of the land is flat, but one part is uneven.
      I have to edit the uneven part of the land to make it flat. I have already tried to use the "model" tool from sandbox toolbar but also if I try to recude radius I cannot get a good result because I must move least 3 edges.

      https://s16.postimg.org/4f5tueket/terrain.jpg

      Is there a way to accurately model the terrain?

    • RE: [Plugin][$] TopoShaper - v2.7a - 01 Apr 24

      After created a terrain, is there a way to show the "grid" on it? I see only the surface but would be nice to see the points of the grid for editing.

    • Any advice for my design (technical and sections)

      I need draw a small house. I would like allow to hide/show items so it's possible see the interior of the house.
      So I have create this:

      http://i67.tinypic.com/2lut09e.jpg

      Any color is a group (the colors are just to make you understand, I have to use materials).
      I can hide the roof and see the interior...

      First question: is this the right way to use SketckUp?

      Secondo question: If Yes, is there a way to hide line between 2 colors and use textures like single surface?

      Third question: is there a way to have a solid sections? I have try SolidSection plugin but it not work very well.
