In the following figure, the inference engine is indicating that the width is parallel with the green axis, and the Measurements box, which updates dynamically as you move the cursor, indicates that clicking at this point would set the width at 51 feet, 8 5/16 inches.

If you prefer to to start modeling terrain from a flat, rectangular TIN, you draw the shape with the Sandbox From Scratch tool:
SKETCHUP 6 HOW TO
Editing and Fine-Tuning Terrain explains how to flip edges and make other common edits. You can retriangulate the plateaus (to create a slope) using the Flip Edge tool. Tip: Sometimes, the Sandbox From Contours tool creates flat spots or plateaus that don’t belong in your TIN. SketchUp automatically organizes all the TIN geometry into a group, so you have to open the group context to edit the TIN. Either way, the contour lines instantly become a TIN, as shown in the following figure.

If any pair of segments forms an angle of less than 10 degrees, the script merges the pair into one segment. For example, say you use the default of 10 degrees. In the Simplify Angle dialog box that appears, enter the angle at which you want to merge two segments into one.From the menu bar, select Extensions > Simplify Contours.Select all the contour lines you want to simplify.
