Plugins for Model Tidying Up
-
DeleteShortLines.rb at Smustard might do the trick.
Also useful for cleaning up CAD imports: CloseOpens and ExtendCloseLines. -
Is there a free version that does the same?
-
Maybe Straylines.rb also at Smustard.
-
It refers to cleanup of open-ended lines. Cleanup.rb does those I believe. I am talking about lines that are part of a closed loop.
-
It's easy enough to write a snippet that find short edges, either selects or deletes them. But what do you do next? if you remove that 0.0002 long edge segment then a face won't be created either.
Have you tried RepairBrokenEdges ?
-
The main thing is really just to find them. I can use Clean.rb to remove stray lines but these are different. As you say it is necessary to fix them rather than just delete them.
I cannot find repairbrokenedges.???

It repair sets of edges that are co-linear.
CleanUp does implement this feature, but I wonder if I have broken it somehow...
-
You can try to use this one-liner (in the Ruby Console) to select all edges that are 0.001 inch or less (0.001 inch is SU's minimum precision.)
model=Sketchup.active_model;sel=model.selection;sel.clear;model.active_entities.each{|e|sel.add(e)if e.is_a?(Sketchup::Edge) && e.length<=0.001} -

The problem is not with co-linear lines but ones that are not co-linear. Maybe something that CleanUp could check for and highlight rather than deleting.

I do have some plans for CleanUp3 what would give a list of issues in the model where one could choose to inspect (and autofix if possible.) Maybe a highlighter similar to Solid Inspector. But it'd not in the immediate future.
What about a revision of the one-liner I poster previously, but instead of selecting the edges it'd insert a text pointing to the edge?
-
what about "loose to group"... would that not do what you want?
-
What do you mean loose to group?
-
CLF_Loose2groups.rb
This Plugin will make groups of all your loose (ungrouped) geometry. It will not change existing groups or components.
