            hm... possibly you have a version where it failed on closed loops. I might not have uploaded a corrected version...

              So I notice these wonderful meshes created. How is one controlling the height of the extrusion?

              If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                  So I read the posts and then thought nothing of trying a 2048x2048 heightmap produced by L3DT (terrain generating program.) 😲 Maybe I should try a bit smaller at first. Then I won't just freeze sketchup and make my patience run out... 😕

                  I will try with a smaller (much smaller) one first and post the results.

                  Arrrggghhh! Why won't it make a face!!! Stupid, no good piece of... Oh look! The line went to the wrong point. Whew... moving on. (My fights with sketchup.)

                    Color, the darker the black and brighter the white will produce the greatest crests and troughs.

                      After letting a 384x384 (meters) heightmap simmer:

                        I get that easy enough. its all based on contrast. . .so One must go into PhoShop and manipulate and lessen those contrasts before putting it into the plugin? Because when I down loaded the scrolly motif lintel thing, I got all kinds of mess. I just couldn't get my model to look like others were doing. . .

                        I'll keep playing with it.

                          David,
                          Use the scale tool to compress it vertically.

                              With version 0.2.0 you specify the height your self - either by using the cursor or entering a length in the VCB.

                                thomthom, this is very cool. I can hardly believe you got this to work. I use this in Eon-Software's Vue and love it, now that it can be done on SU is incredible. VERY NICELY DONE!

                                    Thank you for this great plugin. 😄
                                    I did a quick test with it on a picture of a friend of mine with minimal pre-processing (just making the background black) and placed it on a norwegian coin.
                                    I think with some more effort, one can achieve much better results.

                                    It do however generate a mesh that is very big. I suppose merging the squares (?) which lie next to each other in the same height, would make it lighter?

                                        Yea, it produces a very dense mesh - You can use my Cleanup script to remove edges between coplanar faces.

                                          This plugin is great!

                                          I use Sketchup with Phlatscript plugin to generate code G (2.5 D) to use on my CNC Router, lack a 3D plugin for editing G code on Sketchup.

                                          For 3D and 4D, still use the Artcam,; Now with this plugin can create 3D models from photos, right in Sketchup.

                                          Thank you.
