How do you create contours in Sketchup?
1. Open up SketchUp and click on the add imagery icon.
2. Locate the area you want, and then click on select region.
3. You’ll now draw a rectangle to define the area in which the contours area generated.

What are the 5 Rules of contour lines?
Rule 1 – every point of a contour line has the same elevation. Rule 2 – contour lines separate uphill from downhill. Rule 3 – contour lines do not touch or cross each other except at a cliff. Rule 4 – every 5th contour line is darker in color.
How do you extract DEM contours?
On the Generate contour from DEM window under Input DEM in the File box, type the path where the DEM is found or click Browse to select the file. In the DEM channel list, click the DEM channel or click Select. In the Background value box, type the background pixel value, if necessary.
How do you make smooth contours?
1. Smooth the surface. This is used to perform a FocalStatistics on the raster with the mean statistic.
2. Adjust the Base contour.
3. Smooth the surface and adjust the Base contour combined.

3. Orbit tool.
4. Paint Bucket tool.
5. Push/Pull tool.

How do you use a sandbox tool?
How do you smooth contours in SketchUp?
In SketchUp, softening and smoothing edges typically go hand-in-hand. That’s why both the Eraser tool and the Soften Edges dialog box apply these properties together. Tip: Use the Eraser tool to quickly smooth and soften your edges. Open the Soften Edges dialog box when you need more fine-tuned control.
How do you do topography?
How do you make a 3d topographic model?
1. 1 Get digital elevation data for the area you wish to model. You will typically download that data as a GeoTiff file.
2. 2 If necessary, crop the section of interest from the larger dataset.
3. 3 Convert that data to a DEM file.
4. 4 Make a 3d model based on the data.
5. 5 Print and enjoy.
What are the parts of a topographic map?
Topographic maps are a detailed record of a land area, giving geographic positions and elevations for both natural and man-made features. They show the shape of the land the mountains, valleys, and plains by means of brown contour lines (lines of equal elevation above sea level).
