VERY useful! My thanks for producing and releasing this.

Might you consider adding "Remove Materials" from Backface? I know it's in another plugin but it's something I should do as part of my final cleanup but I often forget. Adding this would to Cleanup would be real handy and I would like to see the count of cleaned backfaces in the statistics too.

P.S.
Ya know, adding "Remove Untextured Faces" would be a godsend for me. Any chance of that too?

I'll see what I can do for the next release. (I'm quite busy atm, can't promise anything.)

Indeed, a "remove materials from back face", but applicable only to selection (or entire model if nothing selected" would be great! The current plugin that does it, removes from entire model. And I often have windows (with or without thickness), or other transparent materials and they start to look bad after removing backface material.

Hello thomthom,

i am eager to use your CleanUp Plugin - but i've some troubles installing it - i am using Sketchup 8 under WINE

I installed both CleanUp 3.1.8 and TT_Lib2 2.6.0 in the plugin-Directory. and i get the following Error:

Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
uninitialized constant TT::System

do you have any Hint for me?

thanks, georg

thomthom

that's the whole error message?

If yes, then could you open the Ruby Console in SketchUp and type load 'tt_cleanup.rb' and see if you get a more verbose error message then?

Other than that, maybe a screenshot of how CleanUp and TT_Lib2 is installed in your plugins folder?

Weld all lines... not sure if it's possible or maybe it will take too long but it'd be sweet to weld everything in one shot.

thomthom

Weld all edges between junctions?

That can be done with Edge Tools already if you use the Simplify Selected Curves and specify 0 deviation.

about the WINE Problem

starting it via Ruby Console gives a lot of Warnings and an Error:

Error: #<NameError: C:/Programme/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TT_Lib2/webdialog_patch.rb:10: uninitialized constant TT::System>
C:/Programme/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_cleanup.rb:79

C:/Programme/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_cleanup.rb:79:in require' C:/Programme/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_cleanup.rb:79 (eval):79:in load'

I think the Directory-Structure is ok - because i tried your plugin in VirtualBox today - and it works like a charm - Great Plugin btw.

thanks,
Georg

hm... this is odd... but could you try something?
Open webdialog_patch.rb and insert two new lines at the top of the file:

require 'TT_Lib2/core.rb' require 'TT_Lib2/system.rb'

?

Not sure why only you get this, but maybe there's some quirk in that it runs under Wine...

oggstreamer

yes - i am one step further. The plugin loads now - but the Plugins->CleanUp3->Clean... shows an empty Windows. Maybe i have to install IExplorer?

thanks

oggstreamer

I will leave it like that - the Merge Faces and erase hidden geometry works! and thats fine for me

I will add the changes to the next release.

The window is a webdialog, which under windows use an embedded Internet Explorer window and under OSX it uses an embedded WebKit.
It's been a while since I tried Ubuntu, but I used to have an old machine with it and I tried SU a couple of times. But I usually got crashes - when I didn't I got problems with webdialogs.

But not sure what the status is now though - a couple of years later...

oggstreamer

i found a blog about webdialog on wine related to Sketchup:

http://robsworldoftech.blogspot.com/2010/12/getting-sketchup-8-working-in-wine-even.html

maybe it will work this way but i don't have time right now to try it.

Hello thomthom ! I'm new user of sUP and this forum! Thank you for your work! And sorry for my bad English !

Thom,

I am excited to try your program for cleaning up lines in a file imported from autocad. Would you mind explaining how to install the plug-in, or direct me to where I might find a tutorial for that? I'm a new member of this site and the only other plug-in I have used is Kerkythea, so pretty clueless what to do with the rb file after saving it to the desktop. I am using SU version 8 with mac OS x 10.6.8.

Thanks a lot!

Here are some instructions how to install zipped plugins:

Note that for this plugin to work, you will also need to install another plugin library (linked from the first post). That's also zipped so the procedure is the same.

Hello,
So.. after the installation of M2, I put tt_cleanup.rb in the brand new plugins folder.. I think the shiny new empty folder confused it.. it's lonesome in there and I'm getting the messages on startup
tt?cleanup.rb
Error: No such file to load - TT_lib2/core.rb

So.. instead of using the copy/paste of the file from the old plugins folder, I came back to this thread and downloaded it again.. same error message.

Is there a companion file I'm supposed to download with it?

thomthom

Yes, TT_Lib2, which is linked from the description in the first post. Above the download link.

opal

hmmm.. I have that one in there

I'll take it out and download fresh

thank you

thomthom

Check how you extracted the files. For each plugin there is a description on how and where the files should be installed. Or even better, if you have SketchUp 8 and updated to the recent M2 update, go to Window > Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension and install the plugins from there. Just select the zip files from the file dialog that appears.

opal

Got it working this morning ty

the M2 install from within the program feature doesn't seem to see anything besides file folders and .rbs files. I went to my backup plugins folder to start getting some of the missing most used plugins back after the update from within sketchup and don't see zip or rb files with that tool.
