        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 ?

              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!!!

                            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. πŸ˜„

                                    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 πŸ˜›

                                      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,

                                        DAustrian drape.jpg

                                        p.s. I guess i could crop it to one panel and just repeat the model. Would that help?

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

                                          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. 😲
