Then, holding Ctrl, left mouse click the surface and drag it down to create a replica. After you have the rectangle in position, double click the terrain surface and choose the Move tool (Shortcut: m). How to amend the method above to create a shell. But many vendors charge by the volume of material used, so if you are sending it away to be made, this technique is a great way to reduce the cost of the print. If you have your own 3D printer, shelling is something that the printers software can often do for you. “Shelling” creates a thin shell of your terrain surface rather than a solid object. A 3D printer or an account with an online vendor (easy to set up) Maybe you want to print off a farmer friends back block or “give” a friend a mountain you climbed together. Therefore this is the bare minimum of SketchUp knowledge to extract a model for 3D printing terrain. I only learn it for things I have to but their terrain import is really good (although not 100% accurate).
Mainly due to my background in other modeling software, I find SketchUp quite hard to use. I still haven't been able to get the full 3D data out of Google maps so i have settled for a walkthrough on how to extract terrain via 3D modelling software SketchUp. After hours trawling forums and google search results I tried 3D screen capture programs 3D Ripper DX and GL Intercept but they only work on old versions of google earth. TechShopZack did a good instructable on how to 3D print the individual buildings you can see in google earth, I wanted to be able to print the fully 3D modelled landscapes including terrain and buildings. If you’re in the sticks or a another city you still get terrain.
Everthing gets all 3D! And if you’re are in any of the cities on this list, you have a fully 3D modelled city. Check it out for more stuff like this!ĭo yourself a favour. This instructable was adapted from a walkthrough on my website.
