      That model is after CleanUp is run? You got the original?

        Also, what are your settings?

        what settings ThomThom? The ones from CleanUp³?

        everything selected except Geometry to Layer 0, Merge Identical Materials (its two different materials, a bitmap for each imported mesh), so I saw no reason to use it) and Erase Stray Edges.

        sorry, I didnt keep the original imported meshes. But I will try again with new imported meshes.

          Looking at the one you sent, I selected everything and intersected it with itself a few times. CleanUp doesn't clean up faces that partially overlaps. Only faces that fully cover the exact same space as another. After intersecting and then cleaning there was no overlapping.

            here... I copied the two meshes and joined them in a group, exploded them, and used Cleanup. No lost triangles this time, but there are plenty of overlapping triangles. (sometimes they dont appear when viewing in the textured mode, but when you used SHADED mode you will see the overlapping triangles...)

            of course, the problem gets worse when you have to import even more mesh pieces, as sometimes you have over 3 meshes overlapping.

              I will try that, thanks... however... how can I intersect if they are not solids?

              ps: I am trying to solve, with CleanUp, about the same problem that made me ask for the "GoogleEarth Meshes boolean subtract" plugin at the topic http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=40555

                Not intersecting with Solid Tools, but the regular intersect that's been in SU since, ever..? From the context menu, there is Intersect Faces menu item.

                  since ever, but I had never seen or used it before 😆

                  anyway, however, intersected it with itself several times, and when I used cleanup³, several triangles were lost, and got some error messages 😢

                      something along these lines (not exactly the same because I had to test again, with new Earth imported meshes, so different triangles disappeared, etc)

                      Results of Validity Check.

                      CEdge (4234) and CEdge (7926) connect the same 2 vertices - fixed
                      The plane equation for CFace (4767) is not valid - fixed

                      35 errors occurred. Please report the error and sample model to the author.

                      35 - Face merge resulted in lost geometry!

                        Dear Thomthom Sir,

                        here you are launch your new Cleanup (3.1.8) — 06 October 2011
                        • Whats new features you are added ❓

                        and one problem can you solve in new version

                        I'm architectural student and import CAD drawing and lock that drawing in sketchup viewport
                        but when i play / start " Clean With Last Setting " he also cleanup viewport with lock group/component 😮

                        See here ......

                        Regular selection

                        Lock selection

                        Finally clean every thing .....

                        And thank you for this tool its very best for me or ever one ...... 😄 😉

                        I'm very happy with this tool ......

                        Thank you,
                        SUmaster

                          The way CleanUp traverses the model it's tricky to know what is part of a locked group or not. But I'll put it down for investigation.

                                I know, but, I traverse the model by model.definitions.each - which means that I do not know if the parent for the instances I traverse are locked. I could be checking a sub-group of a locked group and .locked? will return false.

                                  Hi ThomThom,

                                  We imported a 100mb model from ARCHICAD into SU (in fbx format). This goes slow but it works.

                                  The problem is the same material gives different uvw_sizes on my components. The same brick material is 1 cm on a component while it's neigbour component has bricks of 20 cm ?!?.

                                  Is there a way to reset all components to the same scale, so my bricks are uniform on all objects/ components? (like reset xform in 3dsmax)

                                  Thanks for all the usefull work!

                                  TTion

                                    Another thing to do would be also interesting can recursively set all groups and components to "scale definition."

                                        In my case I don't care if I loose all instances. All scene objects may become true default geometry. (because my scene objects are build in ARCHICAD).

                                        Thanks again,.

                                        NB -> Maybe an object replacer-script is capable of repairing killed Insances in a SU scene,...

                                          Hello Tahesco,

                                          can you CHK Unit ... when you export the file from ARCHICAD into .fbx format

                                          so 1st CHK and again import that .fbx file into the sketchup same unit select ......

                                          thanks

                                          Thank you,
                                          SUmaster

                                            I know, but, I traverse the model by model.definitions.each - which means that I do not know if the parent for the instances I traverse are locked. I could be checking a sub-group of a locked group and .locked? will return false.

                                            yes sir you are right .......

                                            when run Cleanup last setting he CHK all group or component ..... right ...?

                                            Thank you,
                                            SUmaster
