      Make sure the bitmap is 24bit and that it doesn't include color space information.

      What? you haven't tried Raylectron yet?

        To those people having an issue with not being able to click when prompted to Pick depth, make sure that the image you are using does not have any color space information. I believe that someone already mentioned this awhile back in the thread.

        The link below shows an image of the GIMP export settings when exporting a BMP image.
        Notice that I have Do not write color space information checked.
        I have no idea how to check if a BMP image has color space or not. Best bet is to open the image and save/export it without color space information.

              Thank you for your fast answering. By the way,what do I have to do to select image clicking the right button on my mouse.
              Continuing with the attempt to install the plugin (the only one after easy install) I got this message in the skp. screen
              https://cf.dropboxstatic.com/static/images/icons/icon_spacer-vflN3BYt2.gif

                That first image doesn't appear to load. (You can upload directly to the forum btw.)

                    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:

                      http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac206/efrado47/Photobucket Desktop - Efrain Amado Gutierrezs MacB/Screenshot 2016-04-11 18.49.26_zpsu4tfvyro.png

                      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 ?

                        TIG

                          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. πŸ˜•

                            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 πŸ˜„ 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!

                                    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!!!

                                          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.
