Introduction

This plug-in can convert the BMP format picture file to 3D solid. Select a BMP image file, give the size of the solid in SketchUp, and then input the height, the program will automatically generate three-dimensional solid. Note: the number of solid faces generated depends on the number of pixels in the picture. Each pixel will generate two triangular faces. The number of faces generated by a 250 × 250 pixel picture is 250x250x2, which is 125000 faces. Therefore, the pixel size of the picture should be properly controlled according to the accuracy of the model that you plan to generate.

0.30b added mesh from bitmap function, which can convert pictures into color blocks of different colors, similar to pixel paintings. It's better to convert the picture into index mode in Photoshop, with the color no more than 12 colors, and then save it as a BMP format graphic file (8bit, uncompressed), and then import it into SketchUp for conversion, otherwise it will take a long time.
