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.

George

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?

That's strange. I'll look into it. Thanks for the full error message.

I'm sorry, but what's with the VrayDomeLight?
Oh - it's erasing the dome light in the model - because the dome light is just edges, right?

Can you verify this file exists: "C:/Program Files (x86)/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/TT_Lib2/webdialog/window.html" ?

Did you get any error messages when you installed TT_Lib?

thank u
Markus

thomthom · 27 Jun 2013, 12:29

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?

ruslan007 · 13 Aug 2013, 05:30

hi:)
I positioned the cleanup plugin in the plugins folder, but can not see the plug on my view port .not in tools or plugins:(
can you help me to install it properly ?
thanks:)

massimo · 13 Aug 2013, 07:36

Did you also installed the TTlib2 as clearly stated under "requirements" in the very first post of the thread?

Then you need to upgrade at least to the latest version of SU8.

You can rename a .rbz file into .zip then extract it an put the content of the folder in your plugins folder, or you can use the great Sketchucation tools.

tt_su · 14 Aug 2013, 03:33

Definitely upgrade your SketchUp version.

While this is a most well-worked plugin, I have a suggestion towards improving it's usability.

A lot of times I use an autocad file for reference on a hidden layer to be switched on or off as per need. The plugin treats the dwg lines as lonely edges and erases them. A lot of times I realize that only after a long while when I switch on the layer for reference and find the dwg lines erased. To import and align the dwg again is doable but a bit of bother.
The work around I use is to copy the dwg (usually as a group) before clean up operation and paste in place afterwards.

I was wondering if the plugin can be made to ignore locked objects as an option. This way, if need be, one could retain 'unclean' elements in the model simply by locking them and then running cleanup while choosing 'ignore locked objects'.
Alternately it could be made to ignore hidden layers or something like that.

I don't know much about ruby and so don't know if something like that is possible, but I'm sure it would be a useful improvement.

Cheers,
flyashy

tt_su · 2 Sept 2013, 14:49

Yea, I have it on the To Do list to make this plugin respect locked groups/components. I've done the same thing as you when working with imported DWG drawings.

gpg · 30 Sept 2013, 19:19

Excellent!
Downloaded, selected an imported 3d and ran the tool to merge faces.
Instantly the majority of triangulated faces became proper faces.
I had to blink a few times before I relised what had happened!

Saved me an hour of clicking...

For some reason 1 part of the model did not cleanup - otherwise perfect.
Thank-you for your hard work!

tt_su · 1 Oct 2013, 08:19

If some edges doesn't erase then it would be either because the connected faces isn't 100% coplanar, or the edge has more than two faces connected.
