Stamp is a tool designed to help you take shapes and “stamp” them into the geometry.
Instead, make sure that you have no geometry selected before turning the Smoove tool on. HUGE TIP – Do NOT select your geometry then activate the Smoove tool – for some reason this takes FOREVER to load. Note that this tool really likes working on the blue axis – however, you can stand objects up and hold the shift key to adjust objects perpendicular to your selection. You can single click to move your selection up and down. To change the radius, type in a value and hit the enter key. The first tool is named “Smoove.” It allows you to move the geometry around up and down within a radius that you set. Now we have a number of tools designed to help us with interacting with the sandbox we’ve created. NOTE: Do not set your interval to something crazy like 2” – your model will become unmanageable very quickly. You can adjust the grid spacing by typing in a gridline interval and hitting the enter key whenever you activate the tool, before you click in your model to start creating your grid. The second tool is “From Scratch.” From Scratch allows you to create your own grid based on a setting that you dictate. You can either draw your contours yourself, or import an AutoCAD file that you can then use to create a surface. This is one of two tools contained in SketchUp for the actual creation of your sandbox.

The first tool in this toolset is “From Contours.” Basically, this tool does exactly what it sounds like – it takes a series of contours and creates a face from them. It does this by containing a suite of tools to help you work with a grid that’s created by the tool. Sandbox tools is designed to help you work with more “sitework” type situations.
