Hi there, Great tutorial. I have a question about another tutorial you may or may not have already done. 1) We have the shape of a country, i.e, France. We have drawn it using any technique (Bezier and coordinates, for example). As it is a closed line, we end up having the surface and shape of France. 2) Now, we download the surface of France at a given resolution from Google Earth or any other satellite imagery provider. It would be a squared image, containing France imagery and its surroundings. Now, how can we drape the satellite image (at a given resolution) of a country of France precisely over the shape & surface? Any mapping tool so to each place of France is approximately (considering resolution of the image) over its real location? I am working in several projects involving big developments over provinces, states and country sized shapes. Adding a "terrain"-like drape over my drawings and polygons would be a nice touch. If you have already dealt with this issue, please address my question there. If not, maybe you could consider doing a tutorial over this matter. Keep up the good work,
you can align multiple images like this ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qfHErxKLGjI.html ) and then drape map outline on alignd images with sandbox this would be helpfull if your surface is flat. otherwise you can use this tool (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-db3KAv0-ATI.html) to align imagery on curved sorfaces.
I did exactly same, but after exploding I didn't get perforated screen. The circles didn't split the surface. I have tried everything, couldn't solve this!.. please help!
I solved this a few days ago - you have to group the holes, group the plane, then put both (minor) groups into another group with eachother. We'll call this the major group; From here, you must enter the major group, and explode both the minor groups and you should have a perforated plane. The key is to explode both together, not separately.
