This is really great. On my system I'm seeing an odd pattern on the sides of one of the W faces when I pull it. It seems to show the rest of the text. I'm attaching an SU file. How do I get it to look the way it looks in your demo file?

When I hover over the text with the push-pull tool, the face is not selected. The push-pull tool shows the red circle with the diagonal line through it. Is there a way to use the push-pull tool on the text?

I've produced a new file (attached) which I believe has removed all the 1-pixel-width edges. Should this file work? I've been running ImageTrimmer on it for about 45 minutes with no visible results so far.

we the people 2.skp

We have something in mind, but I'd prefer not to describe it on a public forum. I really appreciate your help. If I just take "We the People" and clean it up, do you think ImageTrimmer might work on that?

The .skp file is attached.

Imported from png small.skp

I just ran ImageTrimmer again. The message disappeared from the bottom of the screen, but otherwise nothing seems to have changed. How will I know when it has successfully completed, and, what is the next step I must take to use the push-pull tool on the result?

Found it. I am running Tools->Image Trimmer. It says "Making 'Edges' files - please wait...". I let it run for about 2 hours, but nothing seemed to happen. The "Making 'Edges' files" message is still at the bottom of the window. There is a lot of text for it to work on. But is this expected behavior?

I have saved the file as a .png with a transparent background, using Photoshop. I have downloaded SKMtools20110121a.zip and installed the SKMtools folder and SKMtools_loader.rb in "/Users/myUsername/Library/Application\ Support/Google\ SketchUp\ 8/SketchUp/Plugins". (I'm on Mac OS X).

Relaunching SU, I see a menu item, View Menu->ImageAnimator. Is that the menu item added by your plugin? It is a submenu, with 10 submenu items. I do not yet see one labelled Image Trimmer. Which submenu item can I use to make the selected image into a component?

I don't even remember what eps file I wrote this question with regard to, but I have just imported the image of the text from a .psd file.

I can see it. If I select it, the Entity Info shows the width and height. It has Receive Shadows checked, Cast Shadows unchecked, and Hidden unchecked.

The Make Group and Make Component menu items are both disabled, but I'm a SU newbie and don't yet know what that means.

I can Explode it. After Exploding it, using the Push-Pull tool creates a 3D block, with the image of the text on the front. I can't yet make the individual letters of the text 3D. Is there a way to do this?

I have an .eps file containing vectorized text. I would like to import it into SU for use with the push-pull tool. I imported it using the File Menu->Import item. However, the push-pull tool does not seem to work on it.

How can import this file so as to use it with the push-pull tool?

Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

Best,
