      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.

        Gai...

                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.

                              It's the repair edges feature. Some times it tries to repair edges where they don't seem to remain repaired. It's some oddity I've not worked out why it occurs yet. Might be due to small edges or small accuracy issues. The Repair Broken Edges plugin do the same thing.

                                  Note that it's not an error or anything. It's just some edges that SketchUp doesn't heal properly.

                                          I'm guessing you had "Erase Duplicate Faces" checked - which is very slow.
