Hello Sketch Up community,

I have run into a problem while trying to write code to create an arc.

I do not understand what one of the arguments that this function uses does.

normal
A Vector3d object representing normal for the arc.

What is a normal and can somebody give me an example?

A second view point? I only have pictures from the birds eye view. There are different pictures with different lightings.

Any other ways you guys can think of?

The link above has a picture of a chip with a defect.
The defect is the abnormal object between the two elevated features.
Do you have any idea how I can make that into a 3D object?

Thank you,
One more question. This is not related to this topic much*

I was wondering whether there is a way to create a 3D object (blob) from a 2D image (birds-eye view).
There are small blebs or blobs on my 2D image that I wish to create into a 3D model so I can make it more realistic. The 3D blobs do not have to be exact but I want to have something representing them. If this is possible (to get 2D bleb(birds eye view) into a 3d model) I was also wondering if this could be done by programming in ruby using some function in the SketchUp API.

Thank you

Hello Community,

I'm currently working on a project and have come to a problem. I was given a bird's-eye view image that must be created into a 3D object. The image has places where there are lumps or blobs. I was wondering if there is a feature in SketchUp where I can make these blobs into a realistic 3d object from a bird's eye view picture only. If there is a simple answer to this question, I was wondering if the function would be programmable from the SketchUp Api in Ruby. Thank you SketchUp community and please help.

So the only way to use Match Photo will be to use it manually through SketchUp?

Are the developers going to implement a Match Photo function?

Hello community,

I am a high school student working on a new project where I need to automate the matching of photos to objects on SketchUp using the Ruby API. I was wondering whether there is a certain plugin or function call I need to use to do this. I am relatively new to SketchUP and ruby all together. If you can please post an example code and pictures so I can easily understand.

My axes for the match photo would be the same as the standard axes. The origin would also be at the same point.

Thank you and please help.
