I have a terrain model with buildings and a plan lining out where the borders are located. The plan is in dxf format.
I want this plan to be applied to the terrain as an image (as I did with the satelite phote, see printscreen). I know how to do with the terrain (bucket tool) as applied in my model.
Does anyone know how I can achieve the dxf plan with the borders being applied on the terrain, not underneath as I have it know?, see printscreen.
Thanks, Thomas
Move (or make a copy of) the borders above the terrain surface and use the “Drape” command.
Anssi - thank you - this is also what is in here, second part: Placing Models and Objects on Your Terrain | SketchUp Help
However applying drape tool as follows results in too many lines resulting, see tree steps documented below. The number of lines I drape on the terrain I can influence with proper selection before applying drape tool.
How can I get rid of the mesh-lines? Do I need to get rid of them before I drape the additional plan on the terrain or is there a way to turn them on/off. View / Edge Style / Edges removes them all together with the draped-on plan-lines.
Here is what I did:
Basis:
Result after applying drape tool:
And this is what I search for (which is only the parralel projection of the border plan onto the terrain):
Why can I not just drape the lines / plan on the terrain with the drape tool?
