Sorry, but it's not working:

I try to clean this component:

But it's not working.

Ah - you're using SketchUp 6. Seems to be an error in the SU6 spesific code for removing materials. I didn't get around to test that. I'll have a look at it.

But you haven't updated to the latest maintenance release, have you? Versions prior to the recent M1 release need to use a workaround to merge materials - which is where the bug lies.

thomthom · 14 Feb 2011, 11:36

Version 3.1.3

Fixed bug in merge materials for SketchUp version prior to SU8M1.

bagatelo · 14 Feb 2011, 11:57

I updated everything.

Do not worry,thomthom. I use the old version. Thanks.

What version does About SketchUp say?

Did you try CleanUp 3.1.3 which I just released a few minutes ago?

bagatelo · 14 Feb 2011, 12:51

Yes, Sir.

thomthom · 14 Feb 2011, 12:57

That is not the latest SketchUp version. There is an update to SU8 you are missing.

Btw - 3.1.3 is working now, right?

Gaieus · 14 Feb 2011, 13:04

I'd really suggest upgrading, Alexandro. There have been some really good improvements!

(And when you are at it, you could also update your profile so that bug hunting plugin authors are not confused)

bagatelo · 14 Feb 2011, 13:05

thomthom: I'm so sorry.
I've updated Sketchup now.
Now it worked.
I'm a fool. Thanks for your patience.

Gaieus · 14 Feb 2011, 13:22

I don't think TT would be angry with you (more likely he's glad it works now).

But did it (that latest Cleanup version) also work with the previous SU 8 version?

thomthom · 14 Feb 2011, 13:34

No - I'm not angry. But that update is really worth it. Some important fixes in SketchUp.
And 3.1.3 should work for pre M1 now.

bagatelo · 14 Feb 2011, 13:44

I tested all the new versions of cleanup with sketchup 8 outdated and did not work. Only when I upgraded to the latest version of sketchup was the plugin cleanup worked well.

Is there something in the working of the plugin which I think could be rethought. That is what concerns processing of edges. Is there a difference between edges that form a face and are coplanar with other faces ("Erase Coplanar Edges") AND edges who are in face without being divided into other faces ("Erase Lonely Edges"). If could be distinguished in this way I can assign keyboard shortcuts for this two situations.

Errors?

You can assign shortcuts for each function - Since 3.1 you have individual menus:

Maybe I just don't understand the question...

bagatelo · 14 Feb 2011, 16:46

A picture is more worth than a thousand words.

thomthom · 14 Feb 2011, 20:33

You want to erase stray edges and merge coplanar faces?
Just set the settings in the dialog window. Then after ward you can just use the "Clean with Last Settings" if you quickly want to repeat that cleaning operation.

thomthom · 15 Feb 2011, 12:54

That's and odd error message. It refers to tt_guide_tools.rb...

@rspierenburg said:

I've removed both the plugin and the TT_lib2 folder and re-installed both

Did you download the new version of TT_Lib2 before reinstalling TT_Lib2?

rspierenburg · 15 Feb 2011, 13:47

Yes, I re-downloaded the latest revision of TT_Lib2 (2.5.3) and Cleanup (3.1.3). Should I try to remove and re-install the TT_Guide tools as well?

thomthom · 15 Feb 2011, 14:02

You could try... I'm not really sure why you get this error message.

What OS do you use? Windows?
Administrator or User account? UAC on/off?

rspierenburg · 15 Feb 2011, 14:20

Using Windows Vista Home Premium with administrator access yes. I think it might be a conflict with another plugin perhaps. I'll check it out and let you know what I find out.
