pilou · 14 Mar 2013, 17:59

Seems there is not an inner faces selection eraser?

david_h · 14 Mar 2013, 18:14

Thanks. I have that and I have run the little installer as well.

It's going now. thank you.

You see. . this is why I really shouldn't be wearing the green badge.

I can't get it to work for Sketchup 8 pro, I pasted the file "tt_cleanup.rb" in the sketchup plugins folder but I get a (Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb)
Can you please help?
I also posted on your video on YouTube, sorry for the inconvenience

Have you also installed the TT_Lib2 as clearly stated in the very first post under "Requirements"?

shifo1002000 · 17 Mar 2013, 18:38

I followed your instructions and it worked thanks a million

thomthom · 18 Mar 2013, 14:06

I'll repackage the plugin as an RBZ and better message for missing TT_Lib2.

with what settings should I clean up this file?

It keeps losing surfaces, could you work your magic and tell me what settings to use?
I really hope this works!

thomthom · 23 Mar 2013, 08:28

I'm out traveling so I cannot open the file right now. But I'll guess that the missing faces are very small. When edges are less near and less than 1mm things like that start happening. You'd then have to scale up the model.
Note that scaling the instance won't work. You'd have to open up the group or component.

Ok so I scaled it with 200%, with what setting should I start the cleanup?

thomthom · 24 Mar 2013, 10:19

I don't know what settings to recommend because I do not know what result you expect. All the settings are for different proposes.

Btw, 2 times might not be enough scaling. You might have to scale up by 10, 100 or 1000 times.

Thanks a lot - very useful tool

Really cool ! Nice job and thanks a lot for this plugin !

Please disregard my question below. The std RBZ installer in my SU8 doesn't seem to work so having read some of your related info I simply changed the RBZ's to ZIP, unpacked them, and moved them to the plug in folder. PU's seem to work fine. Looking fwd to using your cleanup PI ... sounds awesome.

Tks.

Hi, I'm new to the plug in concept in SU so my apologies in advance.
Im on Mac OS10.8.3 / SUpro V8.

I am keen to install your cleanup PI and I keep getting the following error
"SketchUp was unable to install the Extension you have chosen for some unknown reason.
Consult your Extension's documentation for additional help"
It seems to come up regardless of the rbz file that I am trying to install.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

That sounds like a issue that appear from time to time - where OSX users for some reason didn't have full access to the Plugins folder. Once they gave them selves full access they where able to use the RBZ installation feature.

ashscott · 29 Apr 2013, 10:57

Its a fantastic plugin thomthom, thanks very much

HELP!

Hello,

I have never posted before and I'm sorry to interrupt a conversation but I am having trouble installing the cleanup plugin. I keep getting an error message saying that google was not able to install the plugin for an unknown reason. I use V.8. and I am currently using a pro trial.

Thanks

Dave R · 10 May 2013, 09:10

The most likely problem is that you haven't set up full read and write permissions for the Plugins folder. Do that and try to install again.

plot-paris · 10 May 2013, 10:08

Hey Thomthom,

I am using Cleanup every day (or every other minute pretty much). Even got a shortcut assigned that I use as naturally as a wet dog shakes itself dry - its become a reflex!

However, sometimes this reflex rips apart my models, especially when having used plugins like Curviloft prior to it or pretty much every time I import a .3ds file...

One such model is this shiny new Bialetti Espresso Maker (just finished modelling it ).
Bialetti_EspressoMaker.skp

When I run Cleanup over it, it gets destroyed. Even when I scale it up 100x...

Is there any way to change the cleanup settings to avoid this?

massimo · 10 May 2013, 12:37

Well it works fine for me, without scaling anything, with these settings:

edfishbone · 10 May 2013, 16:37

Hi

Thanks in advance. Just installed cleanup. Looks great!
I have the TT Lib2 2.7.1 but the installer is calling for 2.8 which i cannot seem to find. The download link does not work.
