      Is there a way to first sort the face designations alphabetically, then check and erase duplicates. Perhaps with the help of a .exe program? Btw, can reordering the data base with another program, make viewing it faster?

      Sorry, today is my day to be off the wall.

        Thom,
        I love this plugin; like many I am sent DWG/DXF files for me to start modelling from.

        Just wondering if this is possible:
        We know CAD entities are drawn on layer where as SU promotes elements on Layer0 and groups/ components on particular layers....

        Is it possible to import a dwg, group elements on each layer while changing entities to Layer0 and placing groups to a layer of the same name as per the original..?

        In essence, we can manipulate visibility of DWG entities by toggling layers but now the way we do it in SU.

        Thoughts?
        πŸ‘

              Imported DWG blocks comes in as Components...

                  That ain't a "just"...
                  It might cause geometry to merge - which you do not want. Plus, Explode can be dreadfully slow...

                      Hi Thom.

                      For the past month or so, I've been getting a funny error from your Cleanup plugin. I have weeded through my plugins since then and so far haven't been able to find any solutions.

                      Anyway, here is the content of the error dialog:

                      undefined method `purge_unused' for [:Array

                      C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~3/Plugins/tt_cleanup.rb:1074:in remove_materials' C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~3/Plugins/tt_cleanup.rb:1037:in merge_similar_materials'

                      I have also checked to make sure I have this installed with the exact footprint you specified, and I do. I'm usually pretty careful about that, but at this point I'm double checking everything.

                      Thanks,
                      Cathryn

                        When do you get the error? When loading SketchUp? Opening the window? When starting the CleanUp?
                        Does it happen in all models? What are the settings you run CleanUp with?

                          Hi thomthom I noticed you have a new 'merge identical materials' which seems like you had a crack at my request?! Thanks for that.

                          I have been getting the same errors particularly when I run the cleanup with only 'merge identical materials' checked.
                          The script still works for older functions.

                          I'm running sketchup 8 and your latest libraries.

                          Cheers

                              Sorry to take so long getting back here. Was out of town and off grid for a few days.
                              Anyway, the errors only show up when I am actually running the script, after checking settings and clicking "CleanUp". I am using your latest library, and Sketchhup 7.1, as always. The error has occurred with every model to this point.
                              The settings that I have observed the problem occurring with.  If I UN-check Merge Identical Materials, Cleanup works fine.
                              Late Edit: Something bitslapped said got me thinking, and so I UNchecked "Merge Identical Materials". When I ran CleanUp with MergeIdenticalMaterials NOT checked, Cleanup ran fine; So I am wondering at this point if the problem is with that part of the plugin.

                                hi Thomas,

                                i'm getting path errors in safari
                                Not allowed to load local resource:file:///Library/Application%20Support/Google%20SketchUp%208/SketchUp/Plugins/TT_Lib2/webdialog/css/ui.css

                                note: I can run selection toy WD with it's path

                                <script type="text/javascript" src="js/base.js"></script>
                                

                                I can't fathom your interface enough to switch paths...

                                has anyone had it [cleanup3] all working on a mac? [I am using the dev version of safari]

                                cheers

                                    ...what OSX version do you have?

                                        I'm still on 10.5.8, but safari 5.0.6 is the pre-release for the next safari and it stops Fredo's updater from checking here for updates, but I haven't had any local file errors from anything else, and sellectionToys works...

                                        dev version of safari 5.0.6 is stricter

                                        EDIT: checked on my macbook and it's OK for now...
                                        The dev version of safari is a preview for safari 6, so soon everyone will have this issue...
                                        is it possible to use the same paths as selection toys, because they work on both.

                                        BTW... I modded the ui.css for nicer IMHO mac scrollbars
                                        safari 5.0.3 on macbook OSX10.5.8

                                          Yeah. I wondered myself if I really had DL'ed and installed it, but I do have it. Freshly downloaded and installed, just to see if that would fix the problem. Seems to have cropped up since I originally updated to this latest version.

                                            (btw - how did you edit the mac scrollbars? I thought only IE allowed that to be changed...)

                                            Spooky & Driven: I won't be able to look into this until next week - when my vacation is over.
