        This is just odd...

        You have the file at "C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\tt_solid_inspector.rb" - and when you type in load "tt_solid_inspector.rb" into the Ruby Console you get

        Error: #<LoadError: (eval):923:inload': No such file to load -- tt_solid_inspector.rb>
        (eval):923`

        which claims the file is not there... ?

        I also don't understand why it says (eval):923
        When I try to load a non-existent file I get:
        load 'test' Error: #<LoadError: (eval):0:inload': no such file to load -- test>
        (eval)
        (eval):0`

        Are you sure you didn't but the .rb file in a folder and not directly in the Plugins folder?
        Can you post a screenshot of the file in Explorer (including the filepath in the address bar). Sorry to have to make you confirm what you say, but I have had cases like this where the file actually was misplaced.

              ThomThom,

              Problem is fixed. I completly removed v7 from my system. It seams that he sometimes opened v7 when i thought i was working with v8.

                This doesn't require SU8. 😉

                  Ah - yes, if you double-click a file to open SU it will open the version you last used.

                        I think this plug-in is long overdue...great job ThomThom! I can't tell you the number of times I've tried a boolean operation, or a volume calculation, only to get the "this ain't a real solid dude" message.

                        "It isn't a real solid...well what's wrong with it?"

                        "Not gonna tell ya...but it's wrong for sure. Good luck finding the problem man."

                        Now instead of hunting aimlessly for the micro gapped edge, or the itty bitty hanging triangle that can only be seen under exponential magnification, you point us right to it.

                        NICE.

                              I don't know. It all depends on when I get a spare moment. I'm currently looking into some UV mapping tool.

                                Hi Thom. Here's a scenario - I have a Group I'm checking for a solid. It's quite big and takes a few seconds to open and close the Group. When I use Solid Inspector on the Group to find the errors, I then need to open the Group for editing to fix them, then close it to re-check - open, close, open, close, etc.

                                Would it be possible to tell the plugin to operator on the current context so we do not need to always change the context between checking and fixing?

                                Hi

                                  Yea - I've been thinking it needs a function like that.

                                    Hi there, would it be possible to tell solid :

                                    this is (for example) : solid oak

                                    solid oak is : 640 kg / cubic meter

                                    solid weight : whatever volume * 640 in this case ?

                                    that would be great.

                                    thanx to you guys !

                                          The next day TIG followed my plugin with one of his own that attempts to fix missing faces here:

                                          So you might already have a script that eill help detect and cleanup non-solids. Good luck,
