VE Silhouette

Core Capabilities

Interactive Image Editor

Edit your masks directly inside SketchUp before generating geometry. No external image editors required.

• Magic Wand: Click to select and remove backgrounds instantly.
• Live Tolerance: Fine-tune color selection sensitivity on the fly.
• Global vs Local: Choose contiguous erasing or match colors globally across the image.
• Canvas Control: Full pan, zoom, Undo (Ctrl+Z), and Redo (Ctrl+Y) support.

Smart Workflow Integration

Designed to fit perfectly into professional architectural and modeling workflows.

• Select SU Object: Click any Image entity or Textured Face in your viewport to load it directly.
• Collision Avoidance: Automatically calculates dimensions to place generated meshes perfectly beside the original.
• Pristine Undo Stack: All generations are wrapped in a single, clean SketchUp operation. No timeline pollution.

Four Powerful Output Modes

Choose exactly how you want your 3D mesh generated based on your modeling needs.

Wireframe

Extracts only outer boundaries and inner holes as fully-welded curves.

Monochrome

Generates a clean, untextured face honoring all cutouts and islands.

Textured

Perfectly maps the original image onto the new mesh on the XY plane.

Face Me

Creates a vertical FaceMe component—perfect for custom 2D people/trees.

Extreme Performance

Under the hood, VE Silhouette completely bypasses the speed limitations of standard API geometry creation. By utilizing a highly optimized, natively compiled core, edge welding and complex topology generation happen in milliseconds.
