Heightmap from model in SU2021?

[fullcity]

Hi there!

I’d like to use SU as my modeler and export height maps for CNC carving. Didier’s mesh2HeightMap plugin crashes my SketchUp instance. Any other methods someone can suggest? Googling leaves me with nothing.

Thanks!

Maybe ColorByAltitude from FredoTools would do what you want. I just did this (in SU2021) from some Add Location terrain. I didn't make any changes to the settings but you could experiment with them to change the result.

Please complete your profile with SketchUp version and operating system. That information helps us help you and you won't have to post it every time.

Thanks, Dave. Do you (or anyone else) happen to know if this will work with objects that aren't meshes?

Like what kind of objects? If it's 3D in SketchUp, there's a mesh.

Thank you, @Dave R! ColorByAltitude did the trick!
