[Plugin] CleanUp

TIG

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 ³ 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.

Hey Thom Thom,

Installing the tt_cleanup.rb on sketch up 8. I keep getting a,

Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

Am I placing it in the wrong Windows/Program(x86)/..extension?

Thanks Alex (Sefaira)

thomthom

You haven't installed TT_Lib2. Listed as a requirement near the Download button - with a link.

alexmarsh85

Thanks. Works a treat!

Maybe a button for automatic answers?

That's a good idea. Of course the answers to the most common questions regarding plugin errors have already been answered in the first post of the thread.

I'm changing my template for plugins - in the future they will bring up a messagebox and direct link to download the missing file. No amount of description will every catch all.

Thanks for another great one. One question. See my attached screengrab. When i run Clean3 the window turns grey (like your other plugin vray tools). When the screen greys out i can still see the model, is almost like a preview window. Is that right? is there a preview feature that I am not seeing.

I am using SU 8 Pro on Windows 7 machine if that helps.

There is no preview. It's just dimming the viewport to indicate that you should not interact with the model.

->thomthom I LOVE YOU )))) and your plugins. u saved my life and my master degree everything works great now.

thomthom

Ah, the deadline panic. Glad it helped.

Couldn't agree more. Thomas is an all around cool guy!

jPeg Screenshot of Bitdefender alert This is probably nothing...but, Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 has identified TT-Lib - 2.6.0\TT_Lib2\libraries\win32\tt_api.so as a Trojan.Generic.KD.811184

Either the signature recognized by Bitdefender is in error, or TT_api.so has been compromised. Just to be sure, would you please post the checksum of your original tt-cleanup plugin.

warm regards

p.s.

I use every script you've produced and had amazing results. A tip of my hat to you sir.

I had a round with an update of Kaspersky that did the same thing. They've since correct it. Same thing here. Report it to Bitdefender as a false positive.

You mean the tt_api.so file of TT_Lib2, right? Because that's what is flagged here - not CleanUp.

bsintzel

Thomas,

You are indeed correct in that I 'should have' referred to the tt_api.so file. Thanks for catching that.

warm regards

thomthom

I suspect why occasionally it gets flagged is that it's a wrapper to the Win32API in Ruby - which include many system calls that causes the AV software to freak out.
