Thanks Pilou. Just reached out to him.

Dave,

Great example of the variety of line effects you can get just by adjusting the image's export size. All of these tips and tutorials have been very valuable and I appreciate everyone's help.

Maybe you can find useful Axes tools by Thomthom when Axis of object(s) is anywhere inside the object(s)!

When you import the image as a texture and apply it to a face in SketchUp, it becomes a material in the In Model Materials library. You can then choose that material from the library and apply it to other faces in the model. I would suggest you go to the Help menu and use the Knowledge Base tools to read up on The Paint Bucket tool and textures before you go back to working in SketchUp.

Thanks again pbacot!

Well, it's good you have it working. The .rbz file doesn't need to be in the Plugins folder, though. It is only a ZIP file with the extension changed to .rbz. It probably doesn't matter if it is in the Plugins folder but the plugin itself doesn't do anything with it once the plugin is installed and loaded.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Several options to consider and try. I'll be trying them all out and will see if I can locate the "culprits".

Strongly suggest you post your model to 3d ware house and then url here so we can find it.
There may very well be more than one problem and even if you find the " gaps" the surface may not form as you desire.

Thanks TIG. Failed to see that. Problem solved. What do they say,..."when in doubt, read the manual...". That's what my wife always tells me.
