Thank you. Interresting idea. I am using the architect model in many different terrain models and sometimes I am having many copies in one terrain model, so I assumee that does not work. I also want to create the höuse in line withthe axis (makes it easier to draw), but the positions in the terrain model (-s) is seldom in line with the axis.

But your idea of a footprint gave an easy, but not perfect, idea. Just making a footprint of each house in the terrain model, separate from the house component, make it easy to reposition the house after reloading it.

I am drawing architechtural houses i separate models and then placing them on a separate terrain model for each project. What is the best way to do this? I want to do all architectural changes in the architect model and I then would like the terrain/project model to be updated. I tried to save the achitectural model as a component, then importing it, placing in in the project model in the correct position and then, after som additional changes in the architect model, tried to update/reload the model in the project model. It worked but the house did not turn up in the project model in the correct position.

Is it possible to do what I want? How do you do it?

I am using the 2022 Pro version.

Thanks for all input.

Ok. I solved it through by looking at a new (2022) video och Geil. The option to flatten the base does not show unless you push the small green arrows to the left. Then it was simple to click the flatten symbol under the Misc. head line.The Vector Push Pull seem to give a better result than the Extrude Push Pull.

I take that as a good suggestion and thank you for it, but the video was from Joint Push Pull according to Justin Geis and the rest of the icon look ecactly as those in my Joint Push Pull version.

No, it is from Joint Push Pull. See upper left.

I submit a screen dump from the December 2017 video made by Justin Geil.

Has the Project shape on a plane-option dissapeaeed from Fredo6 Joint Push Pull-plugin?

I need to create a solid volume with a straight base under a 3D terrain. In a video, that comes up as an option/button but that option is missing in my version. PC, Sketchup PRO 2022.

Very grateful for all help.
