We are not psychics - please post the error message. So far it suggests you have not installed things properly. Can you confirm what files were put in what folders, and the TT_Lib you installed etc... -

Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbits the one file posted on the board, and its in the google sketchup 8 plugin folder.
like every other plugin ive downloaded from this website.
-
It seems that TIG was right and you did nt install TT_Lib (another required plugin) as suggested in the plugin post. Please, make sure that is also installed and restart SU.

The error message tells you/us what is missing...
Many of the more complicated scripts have 'Libraries' of additional functions, that they sometimes share with other tools written by the same author. Many of thomthom's tools use his 'TT_Libs'...
It was explained that you need this addition stuff and clearly linked in the thread from where you got the main .rb file...

Hi,
I tried to install the cleanup ruby file on my mac. But then starting sketchup I got this error message: "no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb" but this one was not part of the download.
somebody can help?
Thanks

Hi Christian (and welcome),
Please, go back to the first post and follow the link to that TT_Libray (and additional plugin package) you also need for this (and some other) plugin(s) to work.

Follow Gaieus's advice and mine in the post just before yours http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=316703#p316703 that shows the link... -
Thanks for the hint. Reading makes things easier. Now it works.
cheers

I wound up in a complex model with several instances of a component having two or three different names. I want to change it so that all of the components that are physically the same become just one component and one name.
I tried the "similar" tool but that didn't seem to do anything (that I could tell).
I can't manually fix it because SU requires unique names.
Any advice?

It doesn't currently handle nested components etc. It's very experimental and I've not had time to work more on it.

Select the component you want in the model - then type into the Ruby Console:
prototype = Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].definition
Select one or more of the instances of the definition you want to replace - then:
Sketchup.active_model.selection.each{|e|e.definition=prototype}
(Make sure the components axis are place identically.)
-
--Select the COMPONENT you want to replace;
--Go to the Components Browser:
--Right-click on the preview of the replacing component;
--Choose the "Replace selection" command;Was this your goal?

Thank you for your idea, but I've used the workflow you describe, but it still leaves the names different.
Goal: Several identical components have different names: I want consolidate all of them into one component and one name.

I have a problem with this file - when running Cleanup it's says cleaned 12 edges and the next run is the same. Saved, reopened and again - every time Cleanup cleans 12 edges.
