      Hi TIG I'm trying to trim this image, but everytime I use the plugin, sketchup freezes and I have to force the program to close.

        That isn't a surprise. You're asking the extension to create many thousands of edges. That will take a long time. You could speed it up some by eliminating the excessive detail with a simpler silhouette.

          I tried it with my very old ImageTrimmer, and it took a very very long time !
          Then I tried it with Fredo6's new https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Pic2Shape
          It took 25 minutes, and I had to manually hide the edges and stand it up, but it worked well. Here's the SKP v2026... trimmed.skp
