How to Generate Contour Map with Sketchup

[@nidashaikh6035]

I literally tried all the elaborated processes by downloading all the plug-ins etc from past 6 hrs that the other youtubers Suggested but I literally gave up on each because some or the other thing was not working out. Now after taking a break I came across your video and I tell you girl i really wish you go and have an amazing time in France someday If you havent already been. Thank you so much. x

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

We're so close to 1000 sub!! It's so crazy and I am honestly grateful to every single one of you. Therefore, once we reach the 1000 I will do a giveaway for you guys!! Make sure you share the videos so we can get there faster and leave in the comments what would you like to get :)

[@mpereirawolf]

What a cute explanation. Makes it so easy. Thank you. I hope you are doing well kid.

This was the easyest method to make contour ,,,... thank you so much

I am glad it was easy to follow. Thank you for watching!

[@abdirizakfoad8758]

This plan how do you know different level to another? The different between level to level it may be 0.5 or 1 meter how can I know that?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

When you are got the terrain map on SketchUp you need to add planes (rectangles) on each level which is up to you if you want every 1 meter or less. On SketchUp, you then select all and right click on selection go to intersect faces > with the model. And then delete the rectangles and you will have the lines only.

why am i not seeing the location tool on my sketchup

[@ayusa1027]

Hello I want to ask how do you scale the contour map to build 3D model

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

You'll typically need to know the dimensions of a known area or feature on the map, such as the distance between two points, in order to scale it correctly. Use the Tape Measure tool (Tools > Tape Measure) to measure the known distance on the contour map. Select the contour map. Use the Scale tool (Tools > Scale) to resize the contour map based on the measurements you took. Click once to set the starting point, move the mouse to adjust the scale, and click again to confirm.

Is it useful for surveyor

[@arendelle_ok]

Can i draw contours without google map. So i can draw fictional version

[@artvibes_sumit9984]

Thank you so much , this video helped me really . I have a problem of making building or cars of an area on google earth from 2d to 3d although I checked on all layers , and the same problem happened in sketchup. I don't know is that some areas don't have enough information to convert their buildings to 3d ?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

I'm glad you thought the video is useful. I think so yeah as not all areas have the same information

can u tell me how many hours u spent not Intersection with Model

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

What

[@keolypanhariddh6098]

Surviving Architecture how many hours u finish waiting for intersect face with model

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Few minutes or less not hours

[@keolypanhariddh6098]

@@SurvivingArchitecture i need a big Topography so i import 70 pieces from location. when i intersect face it took me so long from it

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Can you switch to a different computer with better specs temporarily? Maybe divide the plan into small sections?

[@kyle9666]

None of video describes like this easily, I really appreciated for the info! I have contour lines in dwg file (2D), but how to make stair-type contour (3D) in sketchup?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Thank you very much for watching my friend :) You have to import the DWG file within SketchUp this will only work if you have SketchUp Pro if not save it as pdf and trace over the contours in SketchUp. You then need to create faces over each contour and pull them down to your preference.

Teacher haha don't forget that you promise me to show me how to get topography A to z I meant that where you can it, get or know different level to level and change into the site analysis because topography we add in site analysis learn us step by step. in your site analysis this channel there's topography topography I want to do like that. For example when i go to the site and i see the site has topography but it's hard to me to know different levels. Please learn me that

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

In this video, you can clearly see that i used the SketchUp plugin which is what you need to use to get it from everywhere in the world. Thank you.

Can u tell me the name of the plugin which you used to make the 2D image into 3d

[@jalensleet5949]

This confused me too, but you actually don't need a plugin. You can go to file/geo-location then click enable terrain

[@DD-eq2bl]

Hey Master!! I have a question. My topography is soooo mild (almost flat) that the lowest point (assume 0meter) till the highest point is only 2meters! So in terms of professionalism, do I still need to show topography for this? If I really need to, is 500mm per layer good?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Hey student lol, im currently working on a project which has a similar flat site, but there is always a topography and you always need to show contours, I think that if you make it 500mm it would be good but try with 250MM as then you can have 8 contours. Hope this helps :) Thank you for watching

[@DD-eq2bl]

Surviving Architecture thank u so much for replying!! So when I denotes the height of topography, do I put 2000 on the highest point and 0 on the lowest?

[@DD-eq2bl]

Surviving Architecture also, to add on, did u show ur topography the way u did above as well in this video?

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

Your welcome my friend, you just need to create a rectangle that covers the full map and duplicate it 250mm above until it hits the height point and then down until the lowest, all you need to do is pick the area and then click the button which is shown on the video and it will turn it into a 3d map and then follow the rest of the options its very clear and simple. :)

[@DD-eq2bl]

Just last question too, is this the only method to get topography Information for a place? Other than digimap is there other way? Cadmapper I tried but they don’t show contour topography when the topography is too Low like mine. It shows as flat.
