I used ShapeBender to create the shape I wanted. It worked but when I use SolidSolver to make the shape solid, Solid Solver tears it apart.
My SketchUp file is too large to upload so here's a screenshot of after I use ShapeBender:
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

So right now I am working on my thesis project and trying to use the drape tool, which should be simple enough. I have tried watching videos on how to do it,and read the forum, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong...
My end goal is to have the terrain, with the 3d buildings, and the autocad drawing of the streets, pathways etc. draped/placed on the terrain to have a whole model of a part of town in Helsingborg, Sweden. I made the terrain from the contours lines from the autocad file. I was able to download the 3D buildings from the municipality and to get them properly placed on the terrain. However whenever I try to use the sandbox drape tool, it won't let me do anything. The steps I have tried doing in trying to make it work is to have the file I want drape above the terrain. Then I have clicked on the lines I want to drape, then clicked on the sandbox drape button, but it never lets me select the surface, or it deselects the line I had just clicked to select.
What I have tried. I have kept the buildings grouped & hidden. The dwg file that has the streets/pathways/etc. is made of multiple layers. I have taken the time to trim this file down so that its outline matches exactly that of the terrain. I have made it so the dwg file is directly above the terrain. One time I got a message saying that it was not possible to drape because it wasn't a vertical surface.
First way of trying: made the dwg file that I imported a group and tried placing it. Wouldn't let me, when I tried doing this the drape tool icon was red.
Second way of trying: explode the dwg file and then drape - still the drape icon was red
Third way of trying: When it was in a group again,I turned off all other layers so that only 1 layer was showing i.e. roads, still the drape icon was red
fourth way of trying: tried exploding it when there was only one layer showing - same thing happened with the drape icon
Fifth/6th way of trying: I tried copying and pasting the the roads so they were on the same layer as the terrain, I tried doing it as a group and as exploded and the same thing happened. Also after it was exploded I tried Welding the lines together and then doing it, but still no help.
I have no idea what else to try, or what is happening so any help would be most appreciated!

I can't seem to find the resource that'd allow me to lose the sharpness of this edge. As the ends taper down to nothing, I'm looking for a tool which could make a round-off of gradually decreasing diameter. Maybe I've already got the plug-in, but it'll be a while before I'm familiar with all those new tools.

Long story short, that problem we had of stolen assets and an attempt at trying to solve it came out to be somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. The SXSW award ceremony, https://www.youtube.com/embed/3pbFpDqVZFM?ecver=2 (you can see it at the 57:00 mark) has been a years worth of work. We haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg, but we have something now.
We posted up here first when we were tinkering with our software. Some of you guys gave us great feedback. D3CRYPT3D Beta v2 comes out on 04/01/17. Beta v2. is way more complete and fixed a whole mess of problems Beta v1 had. I'll be posting up all the new things involved with it. Thank you so much for your help. We couldn't have done it without the feedback from all of you guys on the forums! We are truly trying to put back credit into the artists and creators hands.
Please click the link below to sign up for the Beta and give us feedback so we can make the best product possible! http://d3crypt3d.net/pressed/starthere

I tried searching words like "real size" in the plugins store, but nothing related to what I'm looking for was displayed.
What I'm trying to achieve is to display objects in my computer screen in their real size. I can accomplish that measuring them with a real, physical, rule, matching it, and saving the scene, but I wonder if there's a plugin I can use to display them in real size every time I need to...

I am trying to create a mesh from contours by using a data cloud point system. It is saying that I need to select the contours to create the sandbox. I thought that you were able to create a mesh from contours by using spot point elevations. I have all of the lidar data for my current project but would like to find a way to create an accurate mesh from the point system rather than from the 10 ft contours. Any insight would be great. Thanks.

Hello
This may be specific to IRender , however, it may also be Sketchup issue. I have recently downloaded IRender and when I utilize the Render function the resulting image identifies section plane even though I have deselected section planes and active section....have tried everything but perhaps I am overlooking something terribly simple?...anyone?
thank you

I have installed TT_Lib2 (version 2.10.9) and VRay Tools2 (version 2.2.1) onto SU 2017 along with V-Ray 3.4.
When I start SU, the vray loads. To use Vray tools in previous SU versions, we would disable vray for SU. If I disable the vray 3.4 extension in Extension manager and then restart the SU program, the Load Vray is greyed out. So vray isn't loading because it is disabled and vray tools is greyed out to load demand vray.
Can anyone confirmed if it works for them in vray 3.4 and SU 2017?
Thanks.

Is there a way to use Drape's functionality to project a profile onto a regular plane? This'd allow one to PushPull a 2D shape into existence, and circumvent the impossibility of using PushPull on a curved surface. Fredo6's solution, Joint PushPull, has some undesirable side-effects.
