Extrude PNG letter

Box - Sorry, but it did sound a wee bit cranky. I am going to look for that Image Trimmer that was suggested though, although I took a quick look at the Extension Warehouse and could not find it. Way past my bedtime, so methinks perchance I am now becoming the cranky one. PS: Did grin at your response. Thanks, some people would get snippy, your response was perfect. LOL
Cheers -
Look in plugin store for SKM tools. Image trimmer should be a part of that plugin/extension

...how about this? (spirix bmp tracer / needs bmp only instead of png)

This looked really interesting, but the video would not play, and when I went directly to YouTube it would not play there either. Said to restart my device. Can't do that as I work primarily in Photoshop and currently have a few files that I do not want to lose the history states on. (Wish PS would make it possible to save those history states when closing a file - bigger file I know, but worth it so many times.)
Will try to see if I can view it on my phone later.
Thank you.

What font is that, do you know? Might be able to find an open font that is close enough for your needs.

Okay - so now I'm becoming a pain. I downloaded the .rbz, but how does one install one of those now that from what I can see you can only install plugins from the extension warehouse? There does not seem to be an option to do that through preferences any more?

No idea. I did a search last night, but as I had mentioned to someone else, it was sent to me as ai file, so it could be a font that was edited in Illustrator, and I need to use exactly what was sent.

To install any RBZ...
Window > Extension Manager > Red Button "Install Extension"
Find and choose the RBZ and it installs... -

Thanks again. -

Got as far as installing the plugin, saving the image as per the specs instructed, but when I find the bmp and select it, it does not appear anywhere as per the video? I double checked to make sure the image was saved as a 24 BMP in RGB mode and the pixel dimensions were adequate, but no luck? Any idea as to where I am going wrong? What should the resolution of the image be?
Thanks -

Wait, you have the .ai file? Open in Illustrator and then save as a .dxf or .dwg and then open in SketchUp. Extrude till the cows come home!

HA HA HA HA HA HA - Was just about to hit the sack and talk to my Firestick but saw this as I was leaving. That was the best! I will absolutely check it out tomorrow morning when I can focus. Who knew!!!! Brilliant! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Will giggle myself to sleep now.

PS - Still need to figure out why I can't get the BMP tracer to work though? It seems like a very handy tool indeed. I followed all the specs as they were listed but it won't place the image. The error was: Error: #<ArgumentError: negative length -28 given> All Greek to me! Maybe someone else might read this and have a Eureka moment. Nighty night. -

Same to me - This tool works well and without any problems on my SkUp 2015, 16, 17 Make versions but not on my SkUp 2018 Pro, hmmm
... there I start the tool with the default settings, am then asked to load the BMP and after this selection, nothing happens then and also no error message... -
Always a good thing to keep oldies!

PPS: Tried this, this morning, but apparently you can only import .dwg files into SU Pro? I am using Make. Sigh... Found a workaround using SU7, but I've tried three different sites to download this older version and a problem with each. Meanwhile back at the ranch, work calls, so I shall return to the unravelling of this Gordian knot later. -
Hmmm, Sketchup Make for commercial use.

And where did you hear or rather read that I said it was for commercial use? Hmmmm?
I said I was sent an .ai file. There are lots of hobbyists out there who use SketchUp, and Photoshop and Illustrator.

Well you have your usage set as event and conference planning. Not really a hobby is it? Perhaps it is. But nothing to do with me, I was just commenting.

Will change that. I used to do that, and which is why I help friends now, but being as old as dirt, I am now just a lone hobbyist. You can take the girl out of the event arena but you can never take the event arena out of the girl.
