Hi, I’m trying to model the slope of my yard on the free version. I see lots and lots of references to the “sandbox” tool, but it doesn’t seem available in Sketchup Web Free.
I have about a 30ft x 30ft area I staked out and used a line level to get the rise over a run of 10ft. I have these data points all written down. I mapped the points on my model and started connecting them with lines to make a rectangle.
- All but one of the lines failed to make a closed rectangle. This is shown in the screenshot on the top down view. I only took measurements away from the house to the furthest guidepoint (each guidepoint is 10 ft).
- The side view screenshot shows some of the elevations. Am I right in thinking that I cant connect these rectangles because the plane I’m drawing isn’t flat relative to the axis?
- I bet there is a better way to do this, but how?
I can only add one model so I compromised on an angle that would show the elevation of my guide points connected by lines and also the one rectangle that did complete after I connected the four corners of the square.
