              That suggests you either haven't installed Libfredo or you have not restarted SketchUp. But since you are omitting lots of info to help us understand fully its hard to say.

              Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

                      Hello, this is an amazing tool—thank you very much. I use it mainly for landscape architecture to create plant shadows. I was wondering why the tool doesn't work with some plants. Quite a lot of plants don't work with this tool; for example, grasses, slightly blue plants, and delicate trees (like the tamarisk tree) seem to produce an open contour which creates a ghost image. I tried editing the PNG and adding a contour or changing the contrast in Photoshop—even adding a very dark black line—and changing the settings of the tool, but nothing seems to work. I wonder if you could have a look at that. I will upload some examples of plants that just don't work with the tool.

                      ex grass.

                        The herbs are to thin to be valuably contoured by Pic2Shape.

                        Again, you can do proper contouring in specialized software like PhotoShop. Pic2Shape is only there for simple shapes.
