How to Generate A Contour Map with Sketchup

In this sketchup tutorial we cover how to generate a contour map with sketchup. In the past few years there's been some bumps in the road for geolocation in sketchup. Now that things have settled down in sketchup 2018. We delve into this pro-only feature.

[@luannguyen078]

Brilliant !

[@ayushpatel7998]

THANKS IT 'S VERY HELPFUL FOR ME

[@jamestaylor8217]

Hi. I'm using SU 2022. At 4:07 you select all. Do you include the terrain? I've tried both ways. Following that you ctr l-X. In my case, I lose everything. Any ideas? Thanks, good videos.

[@untalked.dreams]

thank you!

[@chantelmadlala1389]

Great video. More helpful than my lecturers 🥴

we couldn't do that on trial VS right? really amazing!

[@brckrgn]

thanks for sharing

[@allenoctave2332]

how do you know when the faces are intersected. When I intersect with faces all the rectangles got black and grey. Do the rectangle get blue again after intersecting with faces? I have 27 intersections.

[@Build_It_PDX]

This worked well for my contour lines on my tract map. But is there an easy way to label the elevations on the lines? I am importing this data into layout.

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

I have a 20 acre field that I will measure with a transit on a 50 ft grid , how do I convert that to a topographical map ?

[@Twinand]

Hi lovely, I hope you are well. Any chance you can do a video how to prepare contours file for laser cutting starting from importing digimap or google earth into CAD? How to prepare contours laser cut file from scratch? We couldn't find any videos on you tube. Also laser cut site model. I look forward to watch more of your videos soon. Have a great day:)

[@mina-jb2hy]

I have to do the 1/500 scale map of an area how do we adjust the scale of the area we chose?

[@builtwithsustainability6221]

Is there a way to add contour elevation numbers !???

[@Ya2n_saputra]

I can feel you bro

[@clibfilm]

whenever i do this all my contours are really jagged rectangular lines with no smoothness whatsoever, what am i missing ?

[@SekitendeJulius]

Note to futire self: This always works awesomely.

[@kpbarbee]

Great explanation. But what about having contours and wanting to make a terrain model?

[@ThatNiceDutchGuy]

You could use the Sand Box tools!

[@Yna-nb1hp]

I need to sign in first, but I don't have a license, my sketch up is only crack version, I m just a student, what should I do?

[@karanveer8769]

Sir when I import directly AutoCAD contour file In SketchUp then show a single line
What is the problem of this ?
Please respond ASAP because it's urgent
Note : import file in which contour is not a existing contour, we are modify it.

[@a.rdesign823]

How accurate this data is?

[@OUSSAMABOUAFIA]

nice channel bro , i have a request , did you saw the poster images of skp 2017 and 2018? can you do a tutorial of how can you export images like'em , thanks, keep hacking

[@DesignerhacksPage]

[@OUSSAMABOUAFIA]

yes exactly

[@N_AUD1]

The multiply function did not work for me

[@justine8955]

my contour lines are sharp. any ideas on how to fix it?

[@miarognstad2494]

They gotta make money somehow. Since there’s a student price for Pro, I don’t mind so much.

[@arfaaziz2708]

[@psalmiramondejar9653]

jhakdfjk 4:10

[@miarognstad2494]

Too fast. I’m here because I need to see the tools and understand the directions

[@dim3356]

Ikr. Let's use the multiply......hold it, what?

[@dim3356]

I'm gonna group these up (blur of commands)....

[@nikinikzad486]

How annoying is your voice and breathing on the mic. I had to stop it. You're too close to the mic!
