To extrude a 2D image into 3D space the image must be:

  1. PNG or BMP (using ARGB colorspace)
  2. The background color must be (255,255,255,255 or 0xFFFFFFFF)
  3. The image must have a border of at least 1 pixel width of the background color (to ensure a closed 3D model)

In the software, select Edit -> Insert STL from image.

After selecting the image you can now specifiy which colors and by how much you wish to extrude each color in the modal dialog.
