[Plugin] ImageTrimmer

TIG

On my PC JAR files open [run] with Java.exe
There's no problem... did you try reinstalling Java from Oracle ?

PLEASE BEWARE !!!
I tried installng Java again from the link you sent and it’s totally crashed my laptop (blue sceen bitlocker error); I’ve taken it to a specialist this afternoon and I’m going to have to make a fresh install of the operating system so will lose all my files.
This is going to cost me significant time and money.
Please be aware before recommending anyone else to do this.
I have a Dell XPS 17 2021 model.

Hi TIG,

Yes I re-installed Java from this page:
https://www.java.com/fr/download/manual.jsp
I downloaded the 'Windows hors ligne' version:

I have the Java EN version, but otherwise it's the exact same www link...

Would anyone be kind enough to help convert this PNG file into a skp model so I can give it some thickness. I have tried several times to install the plugin and download Java but with no success.
I just need this one image converting (The white background should be removed).
If you anyone can do it for me I would be much appreciate it.
Thanks

I'll do it but do you have a higher res version?

Tallkoala

Thats great, thanks.

This is a link to where the file is stored, its the highest res I have....

We'll see what we get. It's still not a very high res image so I expect it'll be pretty rough. Might make more sense to usea raster to vector converter to generate a .dxf file that you can import into SketchUp. There are a number of those converters online.

Tallkoala

I did try that (with a couple of different converters) but the image I got didn't have clean lines. I tried exploding the resulting model and then making joining lines in shapes I wanted to be solid but I couldn't get it to work.

See attached screenshots and close up...

With the images you've supplied, Image Trimmer isn't going to be much better. It's tying up my computer for a long time. I may have to kill it so I can get some other stuff done.

Tallkoala

ok no problem, thanks for trying anyway...

Hi all,

Again about my problem (Java not working as expected):
Here is the message I get after jar is launched:

Error; #<Errno;;ENOENT; No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - C;\Users\DBUR\Documents\TrimmedImages\Penture_033[Edges].dat>
C;/Users/DBUR/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;277;in `readlines'
C;/Users/DBUR/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;277;in `make_edges'
C;/Users/DBUR/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;201;in `process_image'
C;/Users/DBUR/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;170;in `initialize'
C;/Users/DBUR/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;834;in `new'
C;/Users/DBUR/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;834;in `block in <top (required)>'

I have the png image file in the model's folder, but no 'Penture_033[Edges].dat' file
All the rights (read/write etc...) are set for this folder.

As it is said in the comments in ImageTrimmer.rb:

@unknownuser said:

There is a temporary 'data' file 'StandingMan1[Edges].dat' which contains
'01' data used to construct the Sketchup Edges - this should be auto-erased
whatever option you choose.

Is this file a template, sort of ?
