Thank you very much for the advice

Hi anyone,

I'm having problems installing the Spot Elevation Marker plugin. Could you please give me a little explanation where you have to place the plugin or how to install it?

Thank you in advance

Perfect! Thank you guys again for the help.

Hi,

I was wondering if someone had a tip how to bulge a face to make a bump/ rounded surface? It doesn't have to be a regular shape. (See jpg.)

Many thanks for your help!

Thank you very much for the help. Really nice!

Yes that's it. Could you please explane the procedure? I'm a hungry newbie wanting to learn

Hi again,

Today’s question is about making faces between complex forms that have different height and shape. I’m trying to make a slope that preserves on one side the height of the road and follows the height of the bowl and finishes down to the ground. I have made a set of height lines that are showing how the terrain is gradually falling down. Is there a smoother way of making this slope than filling with lines like I’m showing in the pictures? And if that is the only technique witch points should I choose to make the lines so it keeps a consistent form?

Hope that I manage to explain myself more or less understandable : )

Thank you in advance for all your great help!

SU Q.skp

Great advice... There nobody left in my office so it's really about time to head back home-> where SU is all about fun

I will first learn it the hard way and come back for plugin advice...but it's written down in my list for wanted plugin.

Have a nice day/evening

OK I got it!! : )

Sorry...It's the end of my workday and my brain is not being very imaginative.

Thanks again

I had a little problem understanding the second part of your explanation: how do you make the slope line a long the surface. I tried to make a line but because of the gap to the surface I can't trim it.

I used the Line tool from Tools on surface to create the sloped line between the tops of the end walls but it could be done by drawing in a plane and intersecting it with the curved surface.

Step by step will I learn this gem of a program!!

Yes like you did Dave. Will try to do it on the other ones.

Thank you for your help.

Here it is : ) It' connected to a line.

Hi,

I have a curve line that I want to offset to make a closed face. My problem is that the form has two different heights that makes this difficult. I tried to use the rotate tool but it didn't work very well. Anyone with a great advice? The picture explains the problem much better : )

Thank for your help!

Well thank you very much, with your superb explanation this was much easier than expected.

Much appreciated

Yes of course!! here is the model... Your example looks really good. With the plugin is it as easy as straight forward?

Ramp.skp

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could come with an advice how to finish this ramp the quickest way. I don't think using the arc tool for every singel segment like I'm doing is best way.
I was trying to use the follow me function but it's stops because of the edges.

Thank's for any help : )
