In this video, I show how to model a very precise lightweight topographic transect in SketchUp with a little help from some contours data optimized in Autocad (using the Polyfit LISP available from polyface.de). I use half-foot resolution imagery obtained from the USGS Earth Explorer website, stitched together and cropped in Photoshop. I also show how to swap 2D blocks with 3D components while creating some nature randomness with Chris Fullmer's Scale and Rotate Multiple SketchUp plugin.
