      The brush exported just fine for me. Are you remembering to append .png to the file name?

        [attachment=0:2q8ziqup]<!-- ia0 -->brush.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2q8ziqup]

        I just tried that with both of the files I had attached and yes, it worked. πŸ‘

        Interesting that some times it worked without entering the .png and some times it did not. I will start over and see if I now get all of the images

        BTW: Can you address these two settings:
        Compression setting - What does it accomplish? What is recommendation?
        Antialias setting - Default is No and I have to set it to Yes each time. Any recommendation?

          That applies only to JPEG. Higher value is less compression if I remember correctly.

          Hmm.. that might be a bug. I actually never use it as I think the AA is too poor. I prefer exporting without AA in a larger size, like double, and resize down in PhotoShop. It's even faster as AA is so slow.

            That is good to know. Thanks. I will ignore that setting since I generate PNG files.

            I have had a problem a few times when I had to create the image multiple times because of sizing issues. Sometimes I had to increase the width setting. I use AA almost every time (just a habit in creating graphics). I will have to try a couple without the AA and then compare them. I am using the tool to build a catalog/brochure/guide of the components I have built for the company I am doing the work for. I really like the capability this tool adds.

                You can have it work with SU 2015, that's it, so far no update for latest sketchup from thom2.

                still so much to learn..

                  hi! since this has not been updated to work with the latest version of sketchup 2019, is there any other plugin that does a similar job?

                      Ancient version of SketchUp. You probably need an ancient version of TT_Lib2.
