This landscape and site design learning track covers the start-to-finish process of creating a small park model. This allows us to focus on real challenges you face in your work flows, and how you can adapt SketchUp to advanced tasks, especially in landscape design.
The track focuses on specific challenges to exterior modeling, including: working with existing and proposed terrain; optimizing and distributing large amounts of vegetation; and setting up models that can be worked on by more than one person and are easy to revise when needed.
If you have questions or feedback on this Track, please comment in this thread.
I have followed this track and liked it, but eventhough I have completed all courses it stays on In Progress. So, just to let you know, the site is not updating the progress of this track.
Hi @EricEelman This may be due to the fact that we made quizzes optional now and havenât added quizzes to this track yet. Weâll look into to confirm everything is working properly. Glad you enjoyed the material and thanks for posting.
Hi @eric-s, If there should be quizzes at the end, then I understand that is still stays on In Progress.
I am looking forward to the quizzes (if they are added) in the future,
Just a follow-up on this. Weâve adjusted the settings so tracking your progress should now also mark completion on the courses. I donât know if this will at retroactively, though my guess is most your lessons will be shown as completed and if you jump into a course it will probably then show as completed. Thanks for the feedback.
Feel a bit silly asking this, but in Hardscape Grading lesson, how do you copy a line to move it up when making the footpath ramps? If I Copy a line & Paste in Place it merges back with the original line.
Just wondering if anyone else had issues with the âCC_DesignBase.dwgâ that you import from the reference files. I found lots of gaps in them (seems pretty standard). I used the extensions âFlatten To Planeâ & âEdge Tools²â to try to close all edge gaps but I couldnât get it to fix the gaps. I understand it is good practise to fix but itâs just so frustrating & unproductive use of time. I wish those AutoCAD users would learn to join their line work
@SJS66 - This same question came up yesterday. The reality is, no matter how well we all draft in CAD, there will ALWAYS be gaps and overlaps due to the way SketchUp converts vector arcs to segments. This âCCdesignbaseâ plan in particular is challenging due to the many curves and tangent lines.
I have successfully completed the tracks SketchUp Fundamentals and Modeling Practice. I also at some point recently had clicked on one of the videos for the Landscape Design track and it played fine.
Now I am trying to officially begin the Landscape Design track and none of the videos will play. I have tried several videos on that track and all the links return a page that says
Error The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
I have tried playing the videos from Firefox and from IE with the same result. I also checked the videos on the other tracks that I have completed and they still play fine. Other than trying again later, does anyone know what the problem could be?
I see the errors too. Seems to only happen if you are signed in, you could sign out to watch the videos, though of course it wonât remember your progress. @eric-s@TysonK
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. weâll take a closer look into it as for me, on a Mac and signed in using both Safari, Chrome and Firefox, everything is working correctly. Have you tried disabling any extensions or add ons? Or perhaps running it in a âPrivate Browswerâ? Let us know if there is any change on your end.
Hi Eric, and @colin Colin, thanks for the quick reply.
The track works if I sign out, so thanks for that workaround. Itâs just strange that it only happened with this track and not the others. I donât think any of my extensions are causing this, as I donât really have anything special besides McAffee on my browser. But as Iâm not very tech-savvy there could be others that maybe I am not necessarily seeing.
Anyway, Iâm good to go. Progress-tracking not as important, as long as I can do the video!
Iâm having the same problem in Chrome. Iâve signed out and back in, tried an incognito window, and disabled all but my Webroot extension. Nothing seems to work.
