          Hi Thom,

          There is an "unwanted" feature in this plugin (I do not necessarily want to call it a "bug"); it erases coplanar edges also when that edge divides faces where the same material applied but positioned differently. See screenshots attached.

          Highlighted dividing, coplanar edge
          After running the plugin
          Could there be at least a settingthat prevents this? I was making an arched surface for this vault when I first discovered this - it simply erased all the dividing edges and of course screwed up the arch big time.

          Thanks for looking into this issue - this is the best ever cleanup script I have ever encountered. aybe abother wish - could there be a feature/setting to clean up only whatever is in context (like inside a goup) and/or in a certain selection?
          Or maybe I missed something?

          Gai...

            hmm... Yes - I see how this can be an issue. Will need to ponder on how to avoid this though.

            Yea - the UI is horrible.

                    That's interesting. Another thing to note down.

                      Armed with more info from Simone Nicolo I now have a better method for detecting coplanar faces - the same method Sketchup use. I think it's 100% reliable. No more messing about with tolerances.

                      Highly recommended update!

                        ๐Ÿ˜ž Turns out it's not 100%. In one of my test model it still left some edges that could be erased.

                        Updated with some minor UI fixes.

                            You probably tried to download just as I uploaded a quick patch. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                                    Thanks for the update. I'll definitely try it out (I managed to forget about two coplanar faces with differently positioned but the same texture again and screwed up my model - no big hassle though just a "doh" moment again...)

                                          Important update in 1.2.2
                                          Sorry for all these updates recently.
                                          I think I found the root of why the last update wasn't 100%.

                                          It now erases edges as they are processes, instead of in bulk later. This is because each face's plane equations must be re-evaluated after it's been merged. This might lead to slightly longer processing time - but I now hope that it truly is 100% watertight.
