You are incredible at teaching. I've modeled an entire house in Sketchup and then transferred it to Layout with floorplans and various viewpoints, all within one week of opening Sketchup for the first time ever-just from watching your videos. Now I'm onto a new project, trying to model a site in Uganda where the NGO I run is setting up a water service, and once again, your videos have rapid-fired knowledge and skills into my brain. It's like I'm matrix downloading skills, that's how good your videos are.
I realize this tutorial is almost three years old and there may be newer magic available now, but this was very very helpful. I'm switching over my CAD stuff to SketchUp Pro, and about ready to model a new house I'm designing, hoping to "place" it on a geolocated terrain model. So this--along with many of your other toots--was most welcome. Thanks again! Thom Lipiczky
Awesome! Thanks I have a large piece of property with terrain and I am designing the land planning. I want to see the low areas in order to provide lakes in them.
This offers so much opportunity for presentation of a proposed building to councils for approval purposes. Your detail is brilliant but perhaps a little more video clarity on the actual control keys for these operations would help. thanks for your great video.
Thanks for the feedback Darin - I probably should have spent a bit more time on the actual operation of the extensions - maybe an opportunity for a follow up video! Thanks again!
Justin hello! Thanks for your tutorial. I'm an oldie-but-goodie (pre-computer age) back at school at UDC. Before I knew about all this I created my own terrain in SketchUp which is ass backwards. Because I think in reality as an adult you almost never have a flat surface to build on. Thanx!
Lol - you pretty much never get to start with a completely flat surface - that's why we have to hire earthwork contractors! :) Glad you found it helpful!
I agree with Darin, the Joint Push Pull along with slicer is a very quick and efficient tool for creating terrain.... However, for future video presentations I would appreciate a much more direct step by step in creating a simple terrain ( hold off on the sideline comments). Then address variations of results AFTER the initial process is revealed. Thank you for the time and effort, regardless.
Hi, I have downloaded the plug-in but the option of making the bottom flat is not there , do you have any other options to replace it ? thanks ! really like your videos!
@@alfredocarretas5640 Hello, if you open up vector push/pull option look on the left side of the bar. There is a section called "face selection" and to the left side of this is a section with arrows. Click on upper part with three arrow shaped forms and it should open up the very option you're missing.
The answer is in this video ruclips.net/video/wOl9qQXwwbw/видео.html&ab_channel=TheSketchUpEssentials :) There are arrows that you can click to expand the options apparently.
This was GREAT. Seriously. Thank you- Also, I looked everywhere for the "project on plan" option but it's just nowhere to be found. I couldn't find it in additional settings or anything
I think in the new version of the extension, there's a right arrow that you have to click labeled "More options" or something on the left hand side of the toolbar. Give that a try and let me know if it helps!
I also couldn't find "project on plan" option. Its hard to see the "more options" button on the tool strip. Look for three little green arrows like this "
Great Videos. Seems that joint push pull no longer availabale on sketchucation , and slicer not available for 2021 version... Any other ways to do something similar as depicted here ?
Hi. Trying to follow your great instructions but I just downloaded the JOINT PUSH PULL and the "project shape on a plane button" is not there. I am using SketchUpPro 2021. Can you please tell me how to find this function?! Thanks!
You are extremely helpful friend however I too am struggling with this - i can't make the bottom of the terrain flat when using the vector push pull - it seems to be missing from the link you provided - I'm running 2018 SKUP Pro please advise?
I think in the newest version, there's an arrow on the left hand side of the menu bar that allows you to expand additional options. I believe you have to click that to get the project option to show up. Thanks!
Thanks so much for all the videos that you do. I'm a builder/owner trying to design our house, and your videos have been a huge help! I tried to enroll into your course, but it has already finished. Any chance you'll run another course? Thanks.
Hi Karin - I believe course registration will be opening up again in February(ish) - you can get on the list to get notified here - www.thesketchupessentials.com/course - thanks!
Hey , great tutorial but what happened to Slice5 in the extension warehouse? Is there another slicer add-on that will allow a terrain feature to be sliced and ready to send to CNC? I am trying to decide on software and looking for the fastest method. Any input would be helpful.
Hi Justin am writing in from India. i am a beginner with sketch up want to know which free version of the application i can download and from where does the toposhaper plugin work with the free version in anticipation of your reply
Thanks for this video. But I have question, how I can find that toggle terrain tools in sketch up 2018? you kind assistance is highly appreciated. thanks
YES - Fredo updated the interface of Joint Push Pull after I made this video, so there's a bit of confusion now, but it's still in there. Glad you found it!
Modeled my farm, a 40 Hectare site (100 acres) with 1m (3ft) contours as I'm planning to landscape the entire hill; going to create forests, ponds, terraces, kiosks, roads, etc). After I built the contoured landscape, the model was rotating slowly like an elephant! I can't imagine what it will be like after I put in a forest of trees in there. I don't think sketchup is the right tool for this kind of job. Can you recommend another software that can handle large landscapes?
Ok so I needed a larger map... the plan is to print a science project of a continental shelf. But when I use add location it's such a small area the topography is lost. I clipped an area in Google earth but it seems that unless I do all the terrain manually it won't see it as anything more than a picture. Thank you for the extension use too
I'm very new to this. I have been looking for a while to carve tarrain for different states on my CNC. Can you show a little more detail on getting the data, creating the state outlines and how to save it as an .stl of maybe even a gray scale height map without the slices? I would be extremely grateful
I want to high resolution of the landscape imagery and the environement, similar maybe to google earth's. how can I do that? The resolution I get from the imagery is really low. It is fine if you want to check the views, but it is pretty inadequate if you want to render the image. How can I have high res imagery?
I don't know if you solved this or not, but in the plugin bar, there is a button with three arrows pointing right, next to the Default Parameters button, if you click it, it opens the project shape on plane options.
I dont see any "project shape on a plane" option. Also you should mention that install first the Libredo plugins before you can use the joint push pull plugins.
first of all thanks for the video and ı have a problem ı download the plugin but there are not two options near the finishing. bolder and near the bolder. how can ı fix it
Dear, I have a small CNC machine (700x400mm). I would like to learn and produce a relief map of a certain position in the wood! How to do it? I want to learn!? If you will help me keep in mind that I am a beginner! I thank in advance!
Hi! Great video, any tipos on how to place multiple buildings in this terrain? i have over 100 surfaces to pushpull to correct height and "attach" the floor to the terrain... thanks!
Hi there! You could try to extrude them first, then use an extension like this one (ruclips.net/video/GaWf4O2VcIA/видео.html) to drop them onto the terrain - thanks!

Hello sir. I have a question. Please notice me. I have designed terrain/surface generated from civil 3D (.dwg) file. How can i import it into sketchup? In 1 month time i will be doing as built of a powerplant using sketchup. Me and my manager want to use sketchup in making this 3D presentation to client. Hope you reply. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I finally got what I was searching for after months of searching. Though I still need to figure out a lot of other things. (Proper placement of plots to the terrain, etc.) BTW, what would happen if I pressed 'Yes' to 'Outlines of adjacent spaces'? I tried that option, but it only looked the same if I pressed 'No"

There should be a right arrow button in the newer versions of the add-on that pops out more options

You are a great guy! I will consider patreon.

everything worked perfectly, but i don't see an option (project the shape on plan) on JointPushPul plugin ???

after instal 'join this pull'
thanks so much....
"Project shape on a plane" doesn't appear on my Joint Push Pull menu. Please let me know if you have any thoughts..
