      Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=281445#p281445
      The correct Plane of a 'WorkPlane' is now used even if it has been Transformed inside its own Group.
      Speed and reliability improved.
      Title fixed.

        Great Script! 👍 Perfect for sorting out faces that have trouble closing. Could you possibly have it so that if no work plane is selected, that it will default to a placing the silhouette on the 0 z plane? Similar to ThomThoms Flatten script in his "Plan Tools", except yours automagically creates the face and groups it.

          You could always make a quick WorkPlane on the ground...

                  Here's another example.

                  Silhouette to plane is also great for flattening a set of looped edges you want to be planar to form a face, but cant seem to find the vert that's out of whack.

                    this could be great for making face me components! render the 3d version then apply as texture to the 2d. 😄

                          Thanks, TIG. Amazing script.

                          Does this plugin do the flatten to plane, or is that a separate plugin? I can't seem to find the command for flatten to plane. (Silhouette to Plane is working great)

                              Just to point out again what Adam already said, Silhouette to Workplane makes closing difficult outlines sooo easy. Brought back the faith in freehand tool to me.

                              with freehand tool quickly drawn outlines often do not close. solved with silhouettes to workplane.

                              Rocky, that is a pretty smart idea. I am having thoughts about this kind of matte painting tricks all the time.

                                TIG:
                                When I click on the script's download button the #SilhoutteTpoPlane.rb downloads. I put the script in the plugins directory of SU8. When I open SU8 I get the following error:

                                %(#FF0000)[Error Loading File #SilhouetteToPlane.rb
                                no such file to load -- #WorkPlane.rb
                                ]

                                Should #WorkPlane.rb also have been downloaded?

                                Regards, John

                                  IF you had read the notes you'd see that you need 'WorkPlane.rb'... because you must first make and then select a 'WorkPlane' with your other parts you want to project - that's how it knows what plane to project its result on to... 😒

                                          TIG, not sure if this is how you intended the script to work or not.

                                          Using SU8. If I select a bunch of standalone geometry and a couple of groups, only the standalone geometry gets project to the working plane. Each group has to be selected individually to be projected.

                                            Everything should project I'll check into it...
                                            Do you get the same 'error' with components too ?
