Usage:
Drag&Drop an image into Blender. Select the image and press "Shift+T" (or "F7" for SketchN Tools Pie Menu) to activate the add-on. Expand the menu panel (bottom left corner of the screen) and adjust the settings to your liking.
Edit Trace:
If you would like to make changes to the image press the "Edit Trace" button (which creates a GPencil version of the image for you to make some changes, like draw a new addition, smooth the lines or move them etc.). After you are done editing simply press "Shift+T" (with the GPencil object still selected) or "F7" again, and turn off "Edit Trace" button. The 3D mesh will be re-created with the changes you have made.
