Slicer3: Make physical site models fast on Google Skecthup

A good plugin for sketchup to create topography that can possibly be easily exported for laser cutting purposes.

Start with a terrain surface, then make it a solid (I use the Line tool) and group it.

Choosing X for "Slice Orientation" produces slices that are perpendicular to the X axis.

Specify your units in the Spacing and Thickness fields.

Entering the same value for Spacing and Thickness (and choosing Z for Slice Orientation) yields a traditional contour model.

Digital Drawing for Landscape Architecture

A unique opportunity to tap into one of the most creative minds in modern landscape architecture representation, Brad Cantrell, via an online webinar/interview on Land8Lounge conducted by Drew Maifield of The LANDWIRE.

Cantrell is author of Digital Drawing for Landscape Architecture (Published by Wiley, 2010) which promises to be the most complete resource of landscape related techniques captured to date. A must read for anyone looking to get the most out of the digital tools in representing design solutions. As Maifield mentions: "...imagine being able to listen in and hang with the expert who wrote the book on this pivotal topic! "

The event is happening February 18th, 2010 at 8pm CST, so be sure to sign up today, and also check out more of Brad's work via his portfolio on Land8.
