      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. 😲

                                        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. πŸ˜‰

                                          The texture is fine, using Photoshop of course. i was just playing to see if I could get it to work in 3D
