      Hello Community,

      I'm currently working on a project and have come to a problem. I was given a bird's-eye view image that must be created into a 3D object. The image has places where there are lumps or blobs. I was wondering if there is a feature in SketchUp where I can make these blobs into a realistic 3d object from a bird's eye view picture only. If there is a simple answer to this question, I was wondering if the function would be programmable from the SketchUp Api in Ruby. Thank you SketchUp community and please help.

          If you had a second viewpoint it would probablyi be a lot easier.

            A second view point? I only have pictures from the birds eye view. There are different pictures with different lightings.
