Ray tracing is similar to the placement function, which places groups / components or reference points on the surface. All methods involve tracking rays around the model, mainly to detect the ground surface. These tools are not placed on hidden entities or hidden layers. It can be used to place objects on the terrain surface, such as plants, buildings

The biggest problem after importing the CAD file is the problem of the cover, which is mainly caused by the fact that the objects such as circle, ellipse and spline curve defined in CAD are directly defined, without the concept of segment number, while all these objects in SketchUp have the concept of segment number. For example, a circle in CAD

CLF color by Z automatically assigns the color of the terrain surface according to the elevation and makes gradient transition processing. You can customize the RGB values of the highest point and the lowest point. This plug-in is a terrain analysis artifact, which can make the situation of the terrain clear at a glance. ...

This plug-in can batch offset copy the arc by entering the distance and quantity of offset copy, and the positive and negative values of the distance determine the offset direction. The offset distance of the copied arc is calculated by the vertex, and the copied arc is thrown to maintain the arc attribute

The road generation plug-in function is the last tool of SketchUp that can automatically generate road network through the road centerline. It can set the road width, turning radius and threshold value, and can choose whether to automatically generate road enclosed parcels.Users can set different material names of centerlines to generate multiple levels of different widths

When we are modeling, we want to create naturally growing forests, different sizes of river beach pebbles, randomly distributed texture, naturally distributed Street crowd, etc. this plug-in can realize the randomization of various things in SketchUp model with one key: random placement, rotation, scaling, pushing and pulling, moving, switching, not only in the face

A convenient water pipe creation tool, which creates water pipes from the lines in the selected group / component, and automatically adds fittings at the nodes. After the water pipe is created, you can double-click to enter the line (2D) mode at any time, and use the brush tool to edit and draw.Points to note when using this tool:1. Ball valve, sleeve and other accessories can only

Easily add straight parking lines to your model, and you can set the width, depth, and angle of parking spaces.Usage: click a starting point and drag to preview the parking space, and press "&\91" under English input method Key to switch between absolute width and minimum width, press "&\93;" Key to change the drawing direction of parking space

Select the desired target directly from the nested group / component. After activating the command, hover the mouse over the target for selection, which needs to be realized with function keys. The name / label of each layer will be displayed in the process of jumping over the level.Press and hold Shift + mouse wheel: reach the target level, click and select to enter the current level

Align the selected edge line to any model element near an axis. This tool is similar to the placement boundary (suapp No. 165), which is more practical when making special-shaped alignment.
