      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

                                          The arrows for reducing pixels or polygons does not show, when i bring the cursor to the red line, any idea ??

                                            this is a great plugin for customize tiling texture, while the sketchup has no responding when I import a 500*500 pixel test BMP file as an image and run "mesh from bitmap", see the screenshot.
