[Plugin] Purge All

thomthom

Not a bad idea. I'd like to see all the models on the server purged. So many that are never purged... grrrr

Jim

Yeah, this project seems ideal for doing these batch operations... too bad no one is working on it.

With the latest version [v1.5] by default with 'Yes' you get the brief 'report' on-screen [or with 'No' just does it with no reporting]; but if you select the third option at the end of the dropdown list - 'Log' - then as well as the on-screen 'report' a detailed file named 'ModelName_PurgeLog.txt' is made with the model, listing all of the changes that it has made... This log-file opens automatically on completion [at least it does on a PC - but probably not on MAC ? (untested)]. Note that if you haven't saved the 'new' SKP then this 'log' goes into the 'current working directory' with the prefix 'Untitled_'... Its changes are one-step undo-able...

I don't understand you completely.
Do you know how to install plugins ?
Download the PurgeAll.rb file from here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=82559#p82559
and put it into the Sketchup Plugins folder.
When you restart Sketchup it should load a new item in the Plugins Menu ' Purge Unused...'.
It does not call or load 'extensions.rb' at all - but it does require 'sketchup.rb' which in turn might do this...
The following files MUST be in the 'Tools' folder [there might also be other files depending on what you have installed] - if there are copies or older files in the 'Plugins' folder it will cause problems - some old rogue zipped sets of files mistakenly included some files which get put in the wrong place.
Sketchup automatically makes these 'system' files in ' Tools', older ones mistakenly located in Plugins can load before these and then it can break Sketchup.

sketchup.rb extensions.rb dynamiccomponents.rb langhandler.rb sandboxtools.rb shadowstringsfix.rb SolarNorth.rb

*Yo no te entiendo perfectamente.
¿Sabe usted cómo instalar plugins?
Descargue el archivo desde aquí PurgeAll.rb http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=82559#p82559
y ponerlo en la carpeta Plugins de SketchUp.
Al reiniciar SketchUp que se debe cargar un nuevo elemento en el menú de plugins " Purge Unused..." [Purgar no usados].
No llamar o cargar 'extensions.rb' en absoluto - pero que requiere 'sketchup.rb', que a su vez podría hacer esto ...
Los siguientes archivos DEBEN ESTAR en la carpeta ' Tools' [Herramientas] [también podría haber otros archivos en función de lo que usted ha instalado] - si hay copias de edad o más archivos en la carpeta ' Plugins' puede causar problemas - algunos juegos antiguos rebeldes de cremallera archivos por error incluyen esos archivos que se ponen en el lugar equivocado.
Sketchup realiza automáticamente los archivos de estos "sistemas" en ' Tools' [Herramientas], los más viejos por error en los plugins localizados puede cargar antes de que éstas y, a continuación se puede romper Sketchup.

If you have permissions to add files to your Plugins folder...
Properties > Security > Edit... FULL for all listed...
And you have indeed installed it properly...
When you restart SketchUp the tool should now appear appear in the Plugins menu - there is no 'button' unless you have a 'doctored' version that adds a toolbar...

If you have v2013 why not use the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button to install any RBZ format plugin downloaded from the SketchUcation PluginStore...
http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore
Or why not get/use the SketchUcation Plugin Store toolset and then you can AutoInstall plugins from within SketchUp automatically.

Now there's no need to mess on manually installing plugins - provided that you have FULL permission to the Plugins folder

There's a new version available from the PluginStore.
It contains some 'future-proofing'.
The log-report format is also improved.
It is now ready for the next generation of SketchUcationTools etc...

Suggestion: to really purge a file to its bare minimum, maybe add an option to remove attributes (set by some plugins), ifc info etc?

TIG

I was thinking about offering to delete the IFC stuff as that can bloat a file and slow it down.
However some other 'attributes' do add usefulness - like DCs... - which should endure - how do we decide what to keep ?

Good point. Maybe make a combo box with several options for cleaning the attributes: remove all, preserve @ components, ...
