Tip: Place the image on a separate layer (e.g., "Reference Image") and lock it after vectorizing.
Click "Generate" or "Apply." The plugin will create new Rhino layers (e.g., "Vectorized-Top," "Vectorized-Shaded") and populate them with curves. vectorize plugin rhino 2021
Click OK. Rhino will trace the image and create curves on the current layer.
Note: Complex images may take several seconds. Large images (over 5 MP) may slow down Rhino. Use PictureFrame command to place a raster image
