      No - it'd be at about 2GB. (Unless you have a 64bit OS and SU8M1 with more than 4GB RAM installed - then it can use up to 4GB.)
      It must be something else.

        Is the "cleanup" process a function of SU?

            Great. I will get this installed as well. Did you have a chance to take a look at the photos of the model I emailed you yesterday? If so, can that be achieved with this program?

              Well, it generates the mesh. And I'd think that if you closed that mesh into a solid it should be possible to 3d point the model.

              The problem seem to be the exporting. I also see the crashes. I even ran CleanUp on the mesh and it crashed.

              Try to scale down the bitmap to half the size and see if it still crashes then.

                Scaled down and unfortunately still having the same problem. You mentioned closing the mesh into a solid, is SU capable of completing a task like this? If not, any recommendations as far as a software program that may be capable of creating such a model?

                      hi there,
                      Its there any posibility to reduce polygons? I tried Polyreduce plugin, which is on forum, but it doesnt work well. And my second question is about performance. I am using iMac, 2.66ghz, 4gb ram, nv9400. On this platform take generating of 150x150px height map around 4. minutes. Can you recomend something to speed it up?

                        Scale the bitmap down before processing it. Smaller image = simpler mesh = faster generation.

                                  Hey everyone, I am new to these forums and I have a quick question, I'm sorry in advance if it's already been answered. I just downloaded this plugin, and placed it in the right location...I have a Mac, so I wen to my internal hdd>app support>google sketchup 8>sketchup>plugins. Yet when I open sketchup it says the following: 'Error Loading File tt_bitmap2mesh.rb no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb'. This happened to me before, what I did to correct it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

                                        I've downloaded and
                                        put the two files in the folder plugin (SU)

                                        does not work (in SU7 and SU8)

                                        I've downloaded tt_bitmap2mesh and TT_Lib2 - 2.5.8 (also tested TT_Lib)
                                        put the 2 files in the folder plugin

                                        does not work (in SU7 and SU8)

                                        I've used this plugin often with WinXP on the old PC, I am now using Win7 64

                                        Thanks a solution.

                                            What 'two files' ? 😕
                                            You should have tt_bitmap2mesh.rb that downloads as it is and that goes into the Plugins folder.
                                            Then you need to get the required TT_Lib2 set - it downloads in a zip file [currently named TT_Lib2 - 2.5.8.zip], you MUST extract the folder that's in that zip file. That folder us called TT_Lib2 and it goes into the Plugins folder. It should contain lots of files and some subfolders inside it after the extraction, just as they are in the zip file when you view its contents... 😕
                                            When correctly installed it should work on all OSs and v7 or v8...
                                            Check that you have full access rights to add files/folders into the Plugins folder - Windows might let you think you have done so but it can surreptitiously move them into a 'compatibility files' folder pending someone in authority OKing it - you need to be an Admin and have proper rights to do this...
                                            After a restart of Sketchup... The menus are:
                                            Draw > Mesh From Heightmap Context Menu > Mesh From Heightmap Context Menu > Mesh From Bitmap
