      No! it needs 'raw faces' in the active_entities context - so edit the group and run it... It doesn't [yet] mine down into definition's faces...
      Incidentally there's a new version in the first post...

        Here's v1.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=346362#p346362
        It now marks all thin faces Magenta, even if they are part of a face that is larger than the size limit otherwise.
        It will mark 'needle' shaped faces [or larger faces with 'spikes'] provided that the average thickness of the tapering part of the face is below the size limit; i.e. it will not mark it if it is fatter than the size limit at its center.
        It colors the backs of thin faces Cyan so you can spot if they are thin AND reversed!

            Except for that larger magenta face on the left ? Perhaps it has a thin projection we can't see in this view ??
            πŸ˜•
            You also have a lot of thin faces [Cyan] that need reversing.
            I suggest you view in Monochrome mode to see these [and thicker faces looking 'bluish'] and reverse them all... because the 'white' should show outwards in a 'solid' - especially for 3d printing or even rendering on most apps...

              hi Tig,

              I should have left the section plane showing, the cyan is all inside,
              and all the faces are orientated correctly,
              I used the skp from the other thread because it was there, and although solid, it does need a good cleanup,

              I'll test on one of my own later on...

                  Hi Tig,

                  Works fine in simple cases, but missed some faces in this crossed pattern.

                    Strange it should look at each face the same way...
                    Can you supply that SKP so I can test it ?
                    How thin are the faces? 2.95mm might creep in ?

                      TIG, I didn't save the original one, but I made up another one. The width was 2mm. Got similar result.

                        Capture.PNGWorked fine for me [eventually] BUT you have several 'overlaid' coplanar/coincident faces - which is a known but weird phenomenon sometimes found with small faces etc.
                        To fix it 'select all', and 'intersect with selection' - the duplicate faces disappeared and the cyan colored faces are shown.

                          Is that how to fix that nuisance of faces on faces on faces etc? I never knew that πŸ‘
