Sketch Up Topo

[Brian De Paz]

I imported an auto cad file with topi lines that is somewhat large. what would be the best way to show the mountains?

Creating a TIN from that many contours would take quite a while… and the end result would likely be too big to be of much use in most models. If I was doing your project, I’d probably start by erasing about 90% of the contours, importing again to a new file, and seeing if the remainder looks reasonably close. Fewer 3D faces is the key to happiness in SketchUp. Good luck

Wow That makes so much sense.

Thank you so much
