[Plugin] Image 2 Model

Works great with one exception. Can you perhaps set it to save just the newly created component and not save a copy of "Susan" along with each new .skp? Perhaps that's is the issue you are already referring to. I need to be able to compile these plants through the component folder. Other than that it's working like a charm!!

Also, just noticed that the component is still an "image". Possible to explode that down before the component conversion? Not sure if the final .skp files will work with all render engines with 'images' embedded.

If Susan is showing up it because she is in your default template.

I take a look at exploding.

You could always some code at the start to erase all model entities...
Sketchup.active_model.entities.erase_entities(Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a)
[or a Sketchup.active_model.entities.clear [edit]]
Then .purge_unused for all model components, materials, layers and styles before adding the new image into the now sanitized model.
Surely image.explode will do the desired extra step ?

Added a .clear! to make sure the new file is empty. Exploded the image and hide the edges.

The 'entities.clear' only erases the instance of Susan [and any other stuff placed in the default template].
BUT the definition still remains in the SKP, as do any now-unused related materials, layers etc.
It's best to have a '.purge_unused' for these after the '.clear'...
