Assuming you've set up the model correctly the terrain with the skirt should be a solid object. Make a solid object of the cutting shape and then use Subtract from the Solid Tools to cut the terrain with the cutting shape.

What version of SketchUp are you using now?

I am using 2022. Thanks, I will try.

Is there a way to adjust the topo shaper skirt? I would like to remove the bottom half of the skirt shown in this screen shot but it seems to be one volume. Thanks

Thanks-worked!

When I have toposhaper license in the payment basket and try to pay, none of the payment buttons bring up a dialog box.

Have you also installed LibFredo6, which is needed to support it...
Also install the SketchUcation toolset to get the latest licensing set up.
Restart SketchUp after the installations to sync everything...

Also note that this Extension appears in a Tools submenu...
The toolbar associated with it should also be listed in the toolbars-dropdown...

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. I guess I missed the popup that said you have to restart to see the tool, something which I should have known. All is good now!

Hi,

I have downloaded Toposhaper and installed it through the extension manager of my trial of Sketchup 2022. The extension manager lists it as installed and enabled, but I don't see any tool icon to use it.

Thanks for your guidance. Yes, I have done that reading and get the concept. I guess it is a problem that I am working from CAD with contour lines that cross the property line (which is at 0). I trimmed all the contours at the property line, but when the "from contours" makes the terrain, it is just slightly different, not exactly the same shape for as built versus existing, when I look in plan view. So I guess I need to enter z values around the edge of the park/property line. I will keep working. Thanks.

Having a hard time using this plugin, trying to compare cut/fill with 2 terrains made from contours by sandbox. I can make the terrains, and put on a skirt, so they are solid groups, and group them with the correct group name. But I can't seem to get the skirts to line up. Does anyone know more precisely what it means that the "skirts must share a common edge"? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

I guess I'm a newbie, and have a very basic question. I can't figure out how to erase a surface without erasing the lines in Sketchup 2014.
