[Plugin] CleanUp

oggstreamer

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

thomthom

yes - i am one step further. The plugin loads now

I will add the changes to the next release.

but the Plugins->CleanUp3->Clean... shows an empty Windows. Maybe i have to install IExplorer?

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...

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

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

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.

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.

The 'button-installer' only works on .RBZ files [which are compressed archives just like .ZIP files]. By default you will only see folders or .RBZ files in the browser that is opened by the button... BUT you can trick it into showing you all file types: type *+<enter> in the file field and all files will now show... find the tool's .ZIP file and install it, it will work just like a .RBZ file... NOTE: it will install any .ZIP file... so ensure that it is a proper tool-set ZIP and not one of your holiday-photos, as they will could be copied into Plugins folder too Also note that picking any other non-compressed archive file type will generate an error...

opal

cool.. ty again

I am very new to Sketchup (1st week) and also one of those annoying people that never says thanks on forums. I plan on being neither from now on. So on that note many thanks for the cleanup script

Zip file don't want to unpack, it says - "unknown format or an error in archive" tt_cleanup.zip (other zip files works correct on my pc)
