      Yep, this is the best cleanup script available.

      I know the choice of user interface is limited, but I'm not a fan of nested menus. I was wondering if a webdialog interface would work. So then I could have a single shortcut that would bring up the "cleanup" dialog showing the options available, and then "run" from there. Maybe? Someday?

      Edit: "best" is an under-statement - it's important and essential.

        Yes - that is exactly what I have in mind. The options are growing so a better UI is required. However, I'm trying to prioritise Vertex Edit. This has been a necessary distraction because I need it at work.

        So my plans for v2 that did not make it will be postponed to v3:

        • Merge Identical and similar materials
        • Axis adjustments
        • Find identical groups/components (If I can find a good algorithm for this.)
          For this webdialog UI is a must in order to be friendly to use.

        Thanks for letting me know how to activate the Fix Model function - in some cases it appears that erasing big bulk of edges messes up SUæs Loops. Even though everything looks fine in SU. So it was good to force that test after a cleanup.

                      When you add components, materials, styles, layers it remains stored in your model file, even after you are not using that resource any more.
                      Purge cleans out any unused component, material, layer or style in your model. That keeps the file size down and you don't have to browse through long lists of needless unused items.

                                      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!

                                      Hey Thom, I am having some tolerance problems on a script I'm working on. Comparing Point3d objects. Do you have some insight that might help me make my comparisons more stable?

                                        Oh darn, I see the solution you are using really is specifically for face co-planar-ness detection. So it will not help with my point comparison. I do have 3 points though, and they should all be on the same line. So maybe I can use the same concept, and test if all 3 are on the same line, instead of just tesing if 2 of them are identical. I'll let you know how it goes.

                                            I've found my tolerance flaw - it is my brain's intolerance for writing code til 4:00 in the morning. I am not having tolerance flaws, but I was having classify_point mis-use issues. I am getting closer to figuring it out.
