[Plugin] Pic2Shape - v1.1a - 20 Mar 25 (Image Contouring)

Thanks TIG.
Pic2Shape already includes a simplify method, more sophisticated that the Douglas Peucker algorithm.
The real issue is that the smooting is a matter of mixing local and global scale, but also boundaries of pixels, which itself is not always clean.

it'd be interesting to process this fence in free inkscape for comparison

Please do it and report.

DXF conversion is likely to give better results.

I was about to try this extension out - using SketchUp 2025 Pro, but the extension doesn’t seem to process the image. Image size 155x50 mm / 300 pixel/inch.

After 10 minutes still at Initialization…

Is there any guideline on max/ recommended picture size?

I tried it with a smaller resolution image, but I still can not get through Initialization....

Thank you

kimga

update: I succeeded with the plugin, when I opened the image in a new file.

The original image was on a bent plane. I suppose that was the problem…

@kimga Are you going to to have trees with this amount of edges per leaf ) ?

@kimga @TIG Hi. I also have this issue. It works really great in the picture, but after applying it on a textured face, it freezes like the leaf.

fredo6

Do you have the model for me to explore the issue.

I installed Fredo6 Pic2Shape but can not find it anywhere to use it. What gives?

@schramdesigns Have you met the requirements in the top post?

schramdesigns

I installed this and cant find it to use it.

Rich O Brien

That suggests you either haven't installed Libfredo or you have not restarted SketchUp. But since you are omitting lots of info to help us understand fully its hard to say.
