3D City model

I’m trying to create a 3D map, with data from CADMAPPER. Having trouble at the stage where I am to choose eneroth terraine volume, but when I select, the whole object is chosen, not 1 terraine…

Hope this makes sense.

Can I export the file that I can use in Fusion to complete the job before I try Enerroth Terrain Volume? is there a better way to make such a 3D model?

Thanks.

Thanks. I’m having trouble including the buildings tab (?).

Also what format should I export it as?

Do you mean Tag (not Tab)? It looks as if it was placed inside of a ‘Tag Folder’. You can expand that folder (the arrow) to see what tags are inside or right click and ‘explode’ the folder to remove the folder (but not the tags inside).

I mean tag. There is no buildings in that folder. I tried to add it but can’t seem to. A search doesn’t give the buildings. Same with terrain.

I could swear I saw buildings somewhere, but it’s now gone.

you can create a new tag, or tags…one for bldgs and terrain respectively. Then select the group and assign it to the right tag.

Do I need anything more than shown? Do I simply add 4 sides (1 shown)under the model?

Ignore

you should draw the base inside the terrain group. It seems like you’d benefit from learning more how SketchUp works. Take the fundamentals course here on SketchUp Campus and then try this terrain base again afterwards.

A main issue still is how do get a terrain tag. I can’t seem to create 1, so it keeps me from doing anything else.

You show one in your screenshot.

Yes, I tried to create a Terraine. But it has no function. The terrain does not disappear when checked. So don’t know how to include a working tag.

Thanks.

You either need to create the “terrain” and assign a tag to it or designate something in your model and assign a tag to it. Note that you do not put an item on multiple tags.

I think I have it. If not, will be back. :wink:
