Pick Menu Overview
The Pick menu collects Landshape's core terrain editing features.
In Pick, you will find Landshape's most powerful and defining features. These are also some of the most frequently used commands.
What Pickers Can Do
Pick includes commands that let you:
- Create new terrain, like Form.
- Remesh existing terrain, like Mesh.
- Express sharp terrain features, like Embed.
- Shape terrain accurately, like Fit, Blend, Grade.
- Style terrain with materials, like Zone.
Where to Find Pickers
All core pickers are listed in Sketchup's menu:Extensions > Holygon Landshape > Pick
There is a top menu, a right-click context menu, and a toolbar, all called "Pick". All three contain the same commands.
Pickers Require Valid Input Geometry
Pick commands require input geometry. The geometry should typically be grouped. Different Pick commands have different requirements on input. Some take edges, others faces, others closed edgeloops, and so on.
To learn valid input, simply hover a Picker toolbar icon. Its tooltip should summarize valid input.
Also, each command page below explains in detail the requirements and effect of each of Landshape's Pick commands.
