Quad face tools challenges

Using QFTools i first used the quad analyzer icon to show me what is and isn’t quad face.

After you have conformed (similar in form) the new terrain over the existing ones, you no longer need quads.
After you drape the road over the terrain, it’s normal for there to be no more quads, and you don’t even need them to move on.

In the first clip, I recommended the method with quads both for speed and because you wanted to learn more.

In the second clip, you can see that you get the same result with native SketchUp tools.

Thanks! For the method I showed, only one plugin is needed+ - mc AlignEnds, and the native tools (Line, Move, Scale, Wireframe style). + If it is desired without any plugin, then AE can be replaced with the Move tool, and move each vertex on Z until the intersection with the terrain. [Merging terrains by retopologizing in SketchUp] It is interesting and pleasant to work on landscape projects. Do you know what methods professionals in the field apply in…

The idea is to get a surface with more faces/vertices to be able to capture more details from the survey surface.

• less faces/vertices > less details
  

  

• more faces/vertices > more details - a smoother surface and closer (and cleaner) in shape to the original one
