      If you use the Plugin Store to auto-install the plugin without the Lib already installed it won't load.
      If you use the Plugins Manager to Disable the plugin and immediately try to Load/Enable it again you will get an error message telling you what file[s] is missing...

      If you restart SketchUp without having installed the Lib then you'll also get error messages about missing files...

      If the plugin is not loaded because of this missing file[s] and you then auto-install the Lib... then the plugin will still not be loaded in that session, UNLESS after that you Disable it and immediately Load/Enable it again, when it will find the Lib and successfully work: much the same as restarting SketchUp would have worked.

      All of this is just as if you had downloaded the plugin and Lib RBZ file and manually installed them in the wrong order, using the Preferences > Extensions > Load... button.

      If a tool's notes say that it requires a Lib, or another supporting file, it is a wise move to first install that... and then install the tool so it can find the required file a sit is loaded.
      Most tools check for their support files as they initially 'load' AND NOT as they are 'run' - indeed some of them can't even bootstrap unless their helpers are present... πŸ˜•

        Hello, I tried to use this plugin to clean my model which is a geometry constructed from triangle modules, i wanted the final model to have clean coplanar surfaces. But it didnt worked properly: the possible reason might be because of the surfaces that remaines from the modules; they dont dissapear after the explosion Thus the script sees them as a "corner defining" edge.

        The model explains the problem better.(i cleaned the example model manually to show what i want to achieve.)

        Do you have any suggestions ? how can i get clean model ?

        script problem with modular grouped objects.skp

        cs.jpg

        final model will be around 3000000 of these triangle modules so to do it manually is not rational

        Thank you

          Presumably there are many internal partition.floor faces showing where the horizontal divisions show...
          You need to use a tool like 'SolidSolver', which tries to remove these and make the geometry a manifold...
          Really you are NOT trying to 'CleanUp' the SKP: rather, you are trying to make it into a 'Solid' - which is a different issue...

            Where are these extruded triangles groups/components originally? Which you exploded?
            If that is the case - they would be solids and I'd recommend you use Solid Tools to merge them all. That should take care of the internal faces which prevents the edges from being cleaned up.

              thanks for this. However that would be awesome if you added a "merge vertices" feature. Whenever I import into maya, I have to merge all the vertices. I get tons of overlapping. Shouldn't be that difficult, right? You did it for faces πŸ˜„

                  pretty much any model i do that I bring into Maya it does it. Select a corner vertex and move it, you'll see it will leave a duplicated one there instead of moving all the polygons that you think is connected to that vertex. It's not a big deal. Just throwing it out there.

                    Into Maya? I though it was when you imported a Maya model into SketchUp... ?

                    In which case it'd be interesting for me to see a sample model - I don't have Maya.

                        Same plugin for both PC and Mac.

                        Just curious. What makes you think there's a separate version for Mac?

                          Ditto. Once in a while people ask this. So I wonder if it's something in my description that makes people think it's Window only?

                            Hi !

                            Thank you for the quick answer.

                            In the website where I have seen this plug in, the demo was for windows, and their was no mention of a Mac version.

                            But I kind of knew it was for both versions. I install it and it worked.

                            Now I have to get used to it, because it removes my windows glass materials finish.

                            So I guess, a lot of trials and errors ahead...

                            Thank you very much.

                              Take not of the checkboxes that says Ignore Materials and Ignore Normals. I've observed that some users check every checkbox without actually being aware of what they do.

                              Do you perhaps have a before and after screenshot?

                                  Oh - it's erasing the dome light in the model - because the dome light is just edges, right?

                                            Nothing has changed - so I'm not sure what it might be. How did you install it in SU2013? Did you copy it or did you install from the Extension Warehouse or SketchUcation's Plugin store?

                                            Did you also ensure to install TT_Lib2?
