    • Follow Me Tool Issue

      I am having an issue with the Follow Me Tool (FM). I am trying to model a light bulb, but only a quarter of it as I will be adding to it and then copying and combining the 4 quarters.
      I have modeled the profile of the bulb and added the radius I want the bulb to follow.
      When running the FM, it does not provide a perfect quarter bulb. There is a notch in the center of the bulb, plus the tool seems to "lift up" the profile that was originally flat.

      I'm hoping I explained this well enough and hoping that the image below sheds light on my issue. Any feedback helps. Thank you.

    • Editing Terrain Using Push/Pull for 3D Printing

      I am working with Google Earth terrain in Sketchup Pro 2019 but I feel my question may be more basic in concept.
      I have imported topography from Google Earth, toggled the terrain and squared up the bottom and sides, to make a solid object. (squaring it up for 3d printing). I am trying to cut a shape (triangle) from the bottom face of the object and use the Push/Pull to remove this triangle shape all the way up and through the object while keeping the object solid.
      The issue is I run into the Offset limits and can’t remove this triangle shape all together. I have tried making my triangle cutout before toggling the terrain but the imported file does not allow that.
      Is there an easy way/(extension maybe?) to remove a particular piece from terrain?

      I've downloaded and added it again.
