      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

                                      Thx,

                                        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.

                                            Quick maths

                                            500 x 500 = 250,000 planar faces. 500,000 if it ends up triangulated.

                                            You should stick to 64 x 64 or below.

                                            SketchUp will eventually create a mesh of 250,000 and you'll be able to orbit fine. But the creation part will take time.
