      Looks like you didn't get the required TT_Lib2 file. Go back to the first post and read the section called Requirements. Download and install the TT-lib2 file.

        Purge Unused > Purge Unused Layers / Purge Unused Materials / Purge Unused Styles

        Hi Thom Thom

        Is it possible to have the "purge unused" function separated into purge unused layers, purge unused materials and purge unused styles?

        This would be useful for maintaining the structure of material palettes/ layer templates in models that require separate management of these hierarchies.

        Cheers

        Joel

                    Did you get rid of all of the BIM plugin. It has been known to cause problems and perhaps you've missed removing a file. Or is it possible when you reinstalled CleanUp you didn't install it correctly? A screenshot of the Plugins folder would be useful.

                      Make sure the version of cleaner you reinstalled has the Lib to support it so double check ThomThoms install instruction.

                        When I choose Clean with last settings from the Menu, FredO's ThruPaint comes up. Any ideas how to stop that, other than uninstalling ThruPaint?

                        And, if I haven't said before, this is a great tool. Use it all the time--not just for messes but to save tons of work while drawing!

                        [Edit: I figured out that it is related to a setting in ThruPaint- "automatically activate Thrupaint when invoking the SU native Paint Tool".
                        None of the CleanUp individual Menu selections do this. Only when running Clean or Clean with Last Settings]

                          That's probably related to meaterial cleanups - where CleanUp sets the current material to Default. Seems that ThruPaint detects current material change instead of actual tool change.

                            I had a problem with cleanup. It reported:

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

                            694 - Face merge resulted in lost geometry.

                            How do I submit the model?

                            Thanks,
                            Steve

                              Post it here.

                              (Note that I'm quite busy these days and I'll be away travelling for a week so do not expect any fix (if there is something that can be fixed.) immediately.

                                Yea - don't take the stats to be 100%. Some times the geometry changes after it's been processed due to SketchUp's automatic merging of geometry - and sometimes due to precision issues.

                                  I tried to upload the design, but got a complaint that it is too big ( > 4M)!

                                  I uploaded it to the 3D warehouse.

                                    I find it a very useful plug, especaially it saves major time, and lets the client focus further on developing of a model, rather than taking time avoiding not needed edges. Well I have a question. Is it possible to make the cleanner delete the faces that have edges touching 3+ faces, although not delete the outside faces.
                                    Example:collerpenal face.png
                                    That face is not useful, in fact, it prevents a group from being a solid. Is there a way to let the cleanner do the job, rather than deleting faces manually?

                                      Determining what is an unwanted face in a mesh you'd like to see as a solid is not as straight forwards as it initially appear. To a human it's easy, we see what the geometry is suppose to represent and determine what needs to be removed.
                                      From a programming perspective it's harder, all you have is a set of faces and edges what is "outsite" and "inside" isn't that easy to determine.

                                      I think there are a couple of plugins that tries to do what you ask for - think TIG got one. Have a look in the Plugin Index. I've not used it myself and don't remember the name.

                                        Thomthom's 'Solid Inspector' is very useful in revealing the extent of these issues initially before you even think about trying to fix them !

                                        My tool is 'SolidSolver'...
                                        It works on a preselected non-solid group or component [with in v8, using latest tool-version]...
                                        It can sort out a few simple mistakes like healing-small-holes, removing internal 'partitions' or 'face-flaps' etc... BUT it is tripped up with your more complex mess-ups !

                                        As thomthom said it's incredibly easy to do editing like this manually - it's just time consuming; but in code deciding what's what and making the changes in the correct order is v_e_r_y complicated... so it's possible to have a face removed that ought to be kept and vice versa... but it is much quicker !

                                        You can but try it - you'll get a report at the end about what it has done - and it is one-step-undo-able anyway [or two-steps if you choose to do a second attempt after an initial failure to 'solidify' the selected group], so you should be no worse off afterwards...

                                          Hello,

                                          Please help solve the problem. I use the latest version
                                          CleanUp Β³ 3.1.9 update on 06 Oct 11

                                          The essence of the problem is that using a CleanUp report about remote
                                          is listed: Edges Reduced - 8. I shake OK, save, close the model.
                                          Open it again and apply CleanUp and again the same situation:
                                          Edges Reduced - 8

                                          It turns out that the removal of produced, but not saved. Anyone
                                          know the cause of this?

                                          Sometimes, after the first use CleanUp removes 8 Edges and if
                                          then apply a second time CleanUp, then the report would mean
                                          have 2 remote Edges.
