Here’s another example, in which I needed to generate new grades on existing topography.

In other words, you can effectively draft right on terrain, carving up an aerial. You can draw closed loops of lines or arcs to subdivide an organic surface. The line (shown below in white) automatically adheres to the surface, following the curvature of the terrain. Using the TOS Line tool, I just click the line’s start and end points.

Here’s a simple example: slicing steps in half. Using the TOS Line tool, start the line at the top of the steps and end the line at the bottom. The resulting line follows the step surfaces.īy adding a few extra lines, I can easily separate the steps into two, uneven parts.Īs a landscape architect I use TOS all the time, to draw directly on terrain. In this model, I want to draw outlines around the forested tree locations. Tools On Surface (TOS) provides a similar set of drawings tools, and they draw on anything. But they’re not designed to draw on irregular surfaces, such as curved faces or terrain. These tools are intended to draw on flat faces only. We all know SketchUp’s native drawing tools: Line, Rectangle, Circle, 2 Point Arc, etc. See our post on how to get SketchUcation’s ExtensionStore. This is one of SketchUcation’s extensions. And Tools On Surface might be my favorite (along with Soap Skin & Bubble which I’ve mentioned before and will mention again).
