      The groups that it creates, is it suppose to be offset from the original group?

        Just noticed, when I reload your script, load 'manifold.rb' it keeps adding more menu items.

        Think it's because of the last line: file_loaded(__FILE__)
        Should it not be: file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__)) ?

        whopops ! update in the pipeline... 😳
        I'll also fix the db() error...

          On a sidenote: you can save some lines in your remove_inner_faces method by using more of Ruby's Enumerator and Array methods:

          
          > def remove_inner_faces()
          > 	faces = @gents.select { |e| e.class==Sketchup;;Face }
          > 	faces_to_go = faces.select { |face| face.outer_loop.edges.any? { |e| e.faces.length > 2  } }
          > 	faces_to_go.each{|e|
          > 		if e.valid?
          > 			clone_removed_into_error_group([e]+e.edges)
          > 			e.erase! if e.valid? 
          > 		end#if
          > 	}
          > end
          > 
          

          I just noticed them not too long ago while having another look at the Ruby docs, I realised I could cut down a number of lines in most my scripts.

          Never mind this code. Seems to have a bug in it.

            Got a case where the internal faces is removing too much. See attached file. Run the script on the large cube.

                I'll look into it...
                EDIT: removes innermost groups of outer-faces [?] AND leaves internal-faces edges behind [that's an easy fix] ❓

                  fantastic,

                  go out on a family errand and come back to a whole new playing field, anything I can do to help?
                  a 'test' skp, if you need something more taxing,
                  or I'll try repairing it myself when you've got the next one up...
                  or need a tester... whatever you need...

                  this slow to hand stitch example of what I'm try to do with 3D printed stainless
                  about 25% of the poly count I would normally use for this sort of thing, and not triangulated.

                    I'll look at your problem - TT has already come up with one set of problems to fix !
                    With yours I get a non-planar points error - since there's only 3 of them it seems a bit strange... πŸ˜•
                    We're really at 'beta' testing now - I only outlined the ideas some hours ago and issued this as my first go - it WILL get better πŸ˜‰

                        TIG,
                        I did this simply to save you having to draw-up or look for something relevant to test on

                        the last 3 letters in watertight might contain none planer points, one had to be over-drawn with a poly-line and two unsoftened with eraser on the bottoms, before I could JPP them, oh the bottom of that A I made a real hash of.. missed it out and went back... I was in a rush...

                        I made the ring quite well, two joints (triangulated) near you name, I chose a ragged font in an attempt to create tiny voids and was surprised how well it came out. Fredo's Joint PushPull is remarkably clean, I have another test piece on file that is pilfered with bad seams if that's more useful.

                        john

                        I'll give anything a spin, it's great that your on the case...

                            that's the simple version, so far it's taken 2hrs 14 min and 49seconds just to explode all the groups so I can then re-group to test the plug on it (and it's only 600,000+ poly's)

                            I just fired up the other computer so I'll do some simple tests on it, while I wait

                              I've added some more error reporting in the console to my own version so I can at least see what these errors are - seems related almost exclusively now to healing very tiny holes ?
                              I'm thinking perhaps to move these vertices to heal these tiny gaps rather than fail making edges that are too small inside a 'rescue' ? It would change the model's form, but so slightly you'd never notice...

                                  Scaling it up x100 or so might make the tiny gaps 'face' - but I looking at pinching the nearly closed verices together so that the gap goes... without much success it has to be said ! 😞

                                    booled shapes, odd repair on torus

                                    works on Mac

                                    no Jade highlighting on second test, this model was coloured, 1st wasn't

                                    hole repair goes from every other vert on torus?

                                    messages

                                    2 then
                                    manifold, orienting faces then
                                    6
                                    no option dialogs, etc...(should there be?)

                                    CadSpan Style shows up no reversed faces after, GOOD

                                    I'll try more

                                        OK, am I following this a bit better now.

                                        I got a Manifold dialog-box on the comp_fish when no repairs were needed and the new group is moved to one-side, [url]/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=25473&p=218811#p218811[/url]

                                        on the other, after the repairs were done, all 3 two manifold bits stayed in place so I get the 6 meaning six manifold selection? and the box points just stay to one-side.

                                            Run with the Ruby Console open for error reports - a new version will be available soon that I hope will be more robust...
