[Plugin] ImageTrimmer

[Didier Bur]

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 ?
