Bugsplat on making surfaces
-
I am experimenting with "panel cut outs" In this case I have a raster image which I converted into a DXF file and then importing into SU pro 2023. The DXF is 4MB and when importing into SU it imports as 1888 2D lines. In the attached image I have drawn in a few lines to define (Grow)the surface However I can only get about this far before it Bugsplats. I do not think there is an answer to having any success but thought I would put it to others to see if there is a way to furter this.......any ideas other that choosing a less complex shape?

It would be helpful to be able to see the actual model, but my guess would be too many segments. Sketchup has a limit at which it fails, one segment under is fine. But it could also be ever so slightly out of plane causing it to splat when it tries to make a face, or it could be tiny edges...

Thanks Box, thought it would be you who answered first
Agreed I think it is just to coplex. -
Fredo's Curvisard might help reduce the count, or Fredo tools/ remove lonely vertices.
If you want to add the model I will look. -

Upload to dropbox or similar and paste a link in a reply.
Or even 3d warehouse.

will do thanks

3D warehouse link.

You appear to trying to share the app.
Just go to the model in the warehouse and copy the address in the top bar and paste that. -

That works, I'll take a look.

It looks like it will eventually get there. It is too many segments but Curvisard Cleanup seems to be working.
You would need to work through it in sections...Hmm just crashed while I was writing this. I have two others running though.
Ideally a an import with less segments would work better.

Thanks Box, so helpfull as usual, I never heard of Curvisard Cleanup but will look into it

Cleanup Contours is one of the options in Curvizard. I always misspell it.

And keep in mind that you should make some 'cuts' through the tree. In other words create gaps in the outer edge of the tree, break it into several 'trees' so that you don't have one continuous border edge that ends up with a huge number of segments. When I first looked at it the whole thing contained over 330,000 segments. It would be highly likely that the border edge would contain more than 10,000 and 10,000 is a finite limit. Sketchup will shutdown without a bugsplat if you attempt to manipulate a continuous edge of over 10,000.

Why not use transparent png texture?

This is what I mean about breaking it up.
This section on its own has just over 10000 segments in the border, so it is borderline. I deliberately didn't weld the whole border.

Cheers Rich, because I am trying to emulate a laser cut piece of corten steel with thickness
