What Is Stitch?
Stitch is a collection of small tools that let you interact with terrain properties in a local, granular way.
Most other Landshape commands are made to control entire areas, in batch.
Stitch enables you to zoom in and polish individual local details.
Inspect Terrain Topology
When hovering the cursor over terrain, Stitch shows a nice highlight of your local terrain topology.
Toggle Fences
Stitch can toggle Fencing in existing edges. To toggle, hover cursor over an edge, and click it.
Note
Currently, stitch is a fairly primitive tool. In the future, Holygon plans to add diagonal flipping, vertex collapse, vertex add, and more.
Read Statusbar and VCB for Details
- When Stitch is active, Sketchup's statusbar will show the current state and options. Read the statusbar carefully.
- The VCB and its label shows any current parameters. Right after a Stitch commit, try typing different values and hit
Enterto control the Stitch effect. - To explore the tool, open a new sandbox model. Plot-quake a random terrain. Then try Stitch on it. Don't be afraid to play around!
