Mesh and Model to interact ?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I need to put a base on a shape that hasn't got a uniform level. In Sketchup you can " Interact with model " which means you place a square base beneath your object then you can cut away the excess based on the perimeter of the object.

The image shows the contour ( grey ) and the mesh ( black ), is there a accurate and easy way around for making the base follow the contour ?

Thank You

You must be making a mistake somewhere. Make sure the gravity is on and set for meshes - then add the level dimension marker anywhere over the mesh. that will link the marker to the mesh - and it will update as the mesh changes

The mesh is a flat surface. I want it to follow a curved fill surface that has been edited using OBJECTiVE. I basically want to take a flat mesh and allow it to follow the curves of the fill lines, both horizontally and vertically

Is there any other way that I can do it ?

Thank You

The shapes created with OBJECTiVE have snappable points in 2D and 3D - just trace around the base with the mesh tool in plan, then elevate the points to the correct height in 3D (snapping to the OBJECTiVE profiles in both cases).
