[Plugin] CleanUp

thomthom

Are you able to run SU2014? It should provide a more detailed error to pin-point where it fails.

I'm not a linux user and I only ever tried Ubuntu briefly in 2008... :s

Unfortunately SketchUp 2014 doesn't work at all. I've attached diagnostic output from SketchUp 2013, in case that helps...

I'm sorry how much back and forth this takes, but without being able to reproduce I'm a bit blind here.

SketchUp prior to SU2014 has flawed error messages that makes it hard to debug. Can I ask you to open the Ruby Console (SketchUp's console, not Linux) and see what you get from this command: load "TT_Lib2/core.rb"

tt_su

What? "load_uninstalled.txt" was a result of running load "TT_Lib2/core.rb when TT_Lib was uninstalled? That makes no sense because it's loading files... if you had unisntalled TT_Lib2 then load "TT_Lib2/core.rb should have returned an error about file not found.
I'm not able to make any sense out of this...

Did you restart SketchUp after uninstalling?

saucerful

Sorry, by uninstall I meant unchecking TT_Lib2 and Cleanup in the Extensions dialog and restarting SketchUp.

The TT_Lib2 files are still in the Plugins directory. Maybe it makes no sense to run "TT_Lib2/core.rb" in this state? I thought it might be akin to how SketchUp loads the extension at startup?

tt_su

Unchecking TT_Lib2 in the Extension Manager will have no effect.

This error is very strange.

Can you try a few other mutations?

` load "TT_Lib2/sketchup.rb"

load "TT_Lib2/system.rb"

load "TT_Lib2/entities.rb"`

saucerful

Here's one log for all of them (search for the command to get to it).

No worries! I really appreciate your patience and am happy to send you any debug info.

I ran this with both TT_Lib2 installed, and not. I think the latter has more information about the error...

load_uninstalled.txt

!!! Do you mean by that you have files from the TT_Lib2 folder 'loose' in the Plugins folder??
When you install the TT_Lib2 you should have a loader .rb and a subfolder with the same name which contains everything else.
I ANY of the files inside the subfolder have found there way into the Plugins folder they will load out of sync as SketchUp starts, rather that as TT's other plugins 'require' them, as they themselves auto-load...
So if that is the case, then you need to carefully 'sanitize' your Plugins folder and remove all of the TT Lib files that should NOT ever be in there...

It works! Thank you so much. This plugin is extremely useful for our workflow at Open Source Ecology (see here).

Any idea when 2.9.9 will be pushed to the extension warehouse?

Huh! How about that! Stab in the dark!
Glad it worked.
I'll upload to EW right now. Not sure when it goes live, depends on the moderation queue.

tt_su

So, I'm making a guess here: Wine calls Linux's file functions which returns the files in a different order - revealing a dependency bug that isn't visible in Windows or OSX.

Can you try this version attached:
(Deleted file as it's now been uploaded to Extension Warehouse, Plugin Store and GitHub.)

Hello i have a problem: useless faces in models (per exemple a face in a cube) doesnt erase with the plugin . could it be possible to add please? or explain how to do if there is yet

here is a screen if you don't understand what i mean

the wood face in the cube doesn't erase

PS: thanks a lot for this usefull plugin

TIG

If it's the one occurrence, then can't you cut a temporary section to give access to the inner unwanted face and erase it/its edges that way ?
Some tools like my SolidSolver will remove inner partitions/flaps if the 'box' [group] is intended to be a 'solid'...

Asloric

thanks.i've erase all useless faces .but i thinks it's a bit buggy with my model ( it erase most part of my project sometimes)

thomthom

Does your model have many very small faces/edges? Like ~1mm?

Asloric

yes beacause a lot of detail for much immersion ( i use the playup plugin to export it to crysis2)

Dave R

If you are trying to create tiny faces (less than 1mm) you are going to have problems unless you work at a larger scale. This has nothing to do with CleanUp, it's just a fact of using SketchUp.

thomthom

SketchUp's internal precision is 1/1000th of an inch. When things get close to that vertices begin to be treated as having the same position and edges and faces might not create - or be lost when you modify them.

One workaround is to scale up the actual geometry, the edges and faces by a factor of say 100 - then scale down the instance/group to counter-weight it. That way the definition of the geometry it large enough, but the instance's scale make it appear in correct size.
