Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about the Grade Brush in the comments below! :)

This is awesome - Finally some decent terrain editing tools

Having used Artisan for years for just this, this looks like an amazing improvement. It will save a lot of time with basically hit and miss sculpting attempts of adjusting topographic data--when the real result (with bulldozers) that is desired is a smooth even grade. Before the "flatten" tool was the only thing that worked anything like this. Locking boundary and vertical displacement has been a huge issue in the past (sometimes possible with effort).

Thanks for the video Justin. This is the type of tools that should come with terrain modulation in SketchUp, and not to have to pay extra for plugins. It seems great to work with, but SketchUp should already include it in the price of subscription and not user has to pay more 100dollars per year.

Mindsight should also add the ability to lock a grade to a specific (typed or set) height which would be useful for working off of a real site survey since it would be less arbitrary and more accurate to the survey itself.

I'll def pop for the upgrade.

Speaking of upgrades. Do you think Sketch has improved enough since 2020 to be worthwhile going to subscription? I have a lifetime single user license as I don't really like the subscription model.

i dont see scrope brush like you AD, why?

And since we triangulated the terrain, it would be good if you started from scratch.

Why sketcup not just make an easy tool for creating landscape brush like Lumion or photoshop? they make thing too difficult

[Strdog]

Terrible plugin due to the monthly fee.
