[Plugin] Bitmap To Mesh
-
Hmm... That message about not being supported - it would indicate you have an OSX version older than 10.7. Though that seem rather old - as it incorrectly matching your system? What is your OSX version?
-
HI Thom, this is what I have:
So what do I have to do in order to get your plugin works under this circumstances?
-
You have an old [now unsupported] OSX 10.6
As TT said, you need to have at least 10.7...Can't you update your OS ?
There is the 'Software Update...' button on the 'About This Mac...' dialog...If for some reason you can't upgrade your OS, then several Extensions [including this one] will not work...
That is the limitation, unless you change things...Also SketchUp no longer supports v8 [and v2013 will cease shortly] - also several Extensions will no longer work in older SketchUp versions [this is often irrespective of the computer's OS, since they might rely on new API features, which are unavailable in those older SketchUp versions] - so why no 'bite-the-bullet' and upgrade both your OS and SketchUp version ?
-
I'm afraid the 10.7 requirement is because I no longer have machines to build for older systems. For every release of OSX it gets harder to support these as well as older versions. I might have to drop 10.7 soon as well given the frequency of OSX releases.
-
Only thing I can think of to run 10.6 would be to try one of the older versions of TT_Lib: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/tt-library-2/downloads
Though you will then have less features and bug-fixes.
I'm also not sure which version might be compatible.
-
It is a pity.
Thank you Thomas, and you too Tig.
I will look forward to upgrade every thing.
Thank you again and continue with the great job for us the sketchupers. -
Hi All, I was just playing something around this evening
Some people succeed in lasering or engraving contours into a thick glass somehow - I have no idea how
thay do it
so this little exercise, to put the author Thomas Mann in thick glass, should just imitate this nice gimmick …such a great plugin - thanks for it!

Version 1.0.0

Hello!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this great plugin! It saved me a lot of time. I could just import a heightmap instead of having to trace over a topographical map by hand. You saved me about a few weeks of work!
If I ever upload my finished "project" to the 3D-Warehouse I will put a link to this plugin in the description.Thank you very much!!!

How about sharing the BMP file so we can see it and maybe help you out?
-
Thanks Dave; I would, but .bmp extensions are not allowed. (just tried to upload the bmp as an attachment) Besides, I think the problem may be something tweaked with the plugin in regard to it's interaction with SU 2017. Since I updated a few days ago, the plugin keeps trying to make a second copy of the mesh at the time when it completes the first, and throws an error.
By the way, been meaning to say this for years, I like your signature.
-
How about uploading the BMP to DropBox and sharing the link.
What did you update a few days ago?
Thanks on the signature.
-
I no longer do business with Dropbox. Long story.
I did solve the problem. Somehow an earlier version of the plugin got left behind when I updated it the other day. Removed it, no more problem.
Thanks anyway.
-
Think I could get a working script of this for sketchup8? I cant seem to want to update because I have a LOT of plugins that work well together already
-
I guess that thomthom's code uses Ruby API calls that are only available with newer versions of SketchUp.
So looks like v8 can't hack it ! Sorry. -
So team: I haven't used this plugin in a while, and I may be doing something wrong. I am trying to make a mesh obviously. .. from a BMP of this image and all it does is stall out my Puter. What am I doing wrong? Something wrong iwth the image? not enough contrast?
thx,
D
p.s. I guess i could crop it to one panel and just repeat the model. Would that help?
-
Holey buckets! There's a lot to process there. I can imagine your puter needing to take a break now and then. It would help if you can reduce the size of the image to one panel although it might still be a lot of work. It'll certainly create a lot of geometry.
-
So i discovered. I got it to work with one panel, but the results were underwhelming. I think I will just use the image and a call it a day.
Holy Buckets???
-
Probably a good idea to use the image as a texture. Reminds me of the curtain slides that would show during intermissions in the old black and white films.
Holey if the water won't stay in.
