[Plugin] Purge All
-
I'm looking for the Purge All script. I've used it before but I don't know where I got it from.
Smustard doesn't have it and the Ruby Library Depot is down. I've searched this forum and can't find it here either.
Does anybody have it that can post it?
Thanks. -

THANKS A LOT!!

Quick question. When you say purge all, what exactly does it purge? It just sounds a bit scary.

Good point... It Purges all UNUSED Components, Layers, Materials, Styles.

Cool! Where have I been without this script!!!

A very useful script, thanks again TIG

'Purge' is used in the sense of cleansing - purifying - getting rid of unwanted things.
It is the automated version of 'Purge Unused...' option that's available as a pop-out for individual types of things.
This script will remove from the model's data-base unused Components, Layers, Materials or Styles in any combination - allowing you to keep say Materials whilst clearing up the rest... It also reports what's been done if that option is selected. You already can globally purge-unused everything using the Model Info > Statistics dialog - but then that's everything that's unused - no choices, and you might want to keep some kinds of things...

..er..sorry..
But doesn't the "PURGE UNUSED" option in MODEL INFO->STATISTICS just the same? -

Well, it might not provide any fancy effects but this is an addictive little tool.
Its amazing how much "stuff" is hiding in the background that you are unaware of.
Particulary after importing CAD drawings it removes a lot of unwanted content.
I keep wanting to run it every five minutes to see if it can remove anything else that shouldn't be there!Thanks.

I tried to use purgeall.rb on my scene, but it fezzes SU and than crash.
Similar thing happens when i use su's purge on this model.
I have more than 200 materials of witch i use only 5 ! -
Try doing a manual purge by going to Window>Model Info>Statistics>Purge All
See if that crahes SU also.

Sounds like it's something with the model.
Have you tried importing to a new file? -
Oops, I totally missed the line where J40 said they had already tried it manually. Sorry! -
I've recently had some issues with purge all and VRay 1.05. Basically the purge all removes some relinked Jpeg texture overides (they remain in the Sketchup Model but just doesn't render). Can be fixed easily be relinking the image. Is there a way around this? Or should I create SKMs manually for all the new textures I use?

I don't understand.
Texture overrides?
Create SKMs manually?
