Strange, I only have the option of "hiding" them, at which point everything (including terrain) disappears.

Hey, page two, nice.

Anyway, the problem you're running into is a general one with sketchup. The way layers and groups work is not very intuitive. You may need to go to Edit > Unhide > All. Unfortunately when you do that you'll probably unhide some various other things like contour lines etc. you should be able to just re-hide that stuff.

P.S. Your new thread idea is looking ever more attractive. Maybe consolidate instruction-type stuff here, and a new thread for actual golf hole images only. Of course a separate thread makes more sense if more than 2 or 3 people submit some images.

[Ian_Linford]

I think if we make a new thread just for the golf holes more people will be inclined to look through them, since they won't have to look through your (great) tutorials. 

Thanks for the suggestion, I got around it by going back to my previously saved version (before the drape), but it looks like your way will work great as well.  I'll keep you posted on the results.

After I edit a bunker, I can't seem to be able to reselect the lines suspended in the air (all the lines go gray).  This seems to happen after I click "edit group" in the bunker floor.

EDIT: found a solution.  I put a floating object at an angle so that there is only sky behind it, then right click and select "close group."

Charlie,

  I've had some luck with the draping, placing the shape of the hole onto the terrain, but then I can't seem to paint the shapes once they are on the terrain.  Which level should I be drawing on and which should I be draping to?

New problem.

Some of my bunker edges are unpaintable.  The face has a bluish color, and it doesn't react to my fill attempts:

Jim:

Once you get the shapes draped, you just have to select the pointer tool and then right-click on the terrain and click "Edit Group". Now when you select a color from the material palette you should be able to apply colors only to areas bound by the lines you draped.

Ian:

I am not quite sure yet about your issue. If you like, you could email me the file, though when I am next in sketchup I'll see what I can figure out.
