      You misunderstood me...

      The user-folder path is always
      C:/Users/**THE_USERS_NAME**/
      'UsuΓ‘rio' [=='User'] is the default user-name in Portuguese.
      BUT if it were me it would become
      C:/Users/**TIG**/Desktop/quadrado.bmp
      So for you the account ought to be something like
      C:/Users/**MARCO**/Desktop/quadrado.bmp
      or
      C:/Users/**MARCOMARTIM**/Desktop/quadrado.bmp
      Why would you use 'User' as your account name - it's supposed to be personalized !

      You are NOT renaming a standard path - it's meant to be customized.

      All I'm saying is avoid accented letters in the folder path / file names πŸ˜’

        Ok!
        What you said makes sense.
        This laptop is new and has already come configured as the manufacturer, will change the user name.
        Thanks for everything ...

          Ah yes. It's an annoying limitation of the Ruby version that comes with SU under Windows. No way to work around it.

          I'll see to that I add some error checking and give the user feedback when reading the files fail.

            I can't even seem to get the plugin to show up for me! I have both the ruby and the TT Lib folder in my plugins folder, but when I start Sketchup it won't show in the plugins pull down menu. (I'm using Sketchup 8 Pro. My OS is Vista Basic)

              I had the same problem.

              Look in the DRAW menu. "Mesh to Bitmap"

              If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                If it's not under the 'Draw' menu look here - you probably have limited permissions to Plugins and haven't really installed them...
                Look in the linked 'Compatibility Files' folder and move them across - it's Vista being over cautious again!!

                  It is worth having a look at the description of the plugin, espesially whrn you have problems.

                    I clicked on compatibility files, and these are the only ones listed. TT Bitmap to Mesh isn't included.

                    I just looked in the DRAW menu, and found something called "Mesh from Heightmap"
                    Is this something included in sketchup, or is it the same as "Mesh to Bitmap"? I've never used the Draw pulldown before so I don't know what's usually there.

                    Clicking on "Mesh from Heightmap" seems to do the same thing as the TT ruby, right down to the red scaling box and asking me to input a depth measurement. So I THINK it might be the same thing...

                      Did you read the first post of this thread? It instructs the user to access this 'mesh from height map' in the 'draw' menu.

                        I did, but since I don't have my own internet connection I can only read so many pages in the 60 minutes of internet time I get at the public library. And combine that with having to fill out online applications for work and checking my email, I last read page one about 2 weeks ago. Please forgive me...

                          No need to read all the other posts, but the first post - the one that describes the plugin.

                            But I also read all the other posts in case problems are noticed and discussed, that way I won't be calling attention to a problem that has already been fixed, or at least see if anyone else is having the same problem I'm having. Which I failed on both counts. Oh well, At least I know my problem was a non issue. Thanks.

                              Hi Thomthom, Just wondering, I installed the plugin to the plugin folder, but it didn't show the cursor, or when I right click the bitmap it didn't show the selection of bitmap to mesh.Any suggestion?? 😳

                                Is the .rb file placed directly in the plugins folder?

                                Do you have TT_Lib2 installed?

                                Are you right clicking an Image entity?

                                        That's your problem right there. That TT_Lib2 - 2.6.0 should contain a TT_Lib2 folder, and that is the folder which should be in the plugins folder. Note the footprint which is described for both TT_Lib and Bitmap to Mesh.

                                        ...though you should have gotten an error message when you loaded SketchUp when Bitmap to Mesh failed to load TT_Lib2. ...unless that also is wrapped in a folder...?

                                          Ah! I see it right there, a folder named "QuadFaceTools - (0.4.1)". When downloading the plugins, copy the content of the zip files to the plugins folder, do not let the extracter wrap it in another folder.
