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

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

            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.

              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.

                  What does it look like this VRay dome?
                  This plugin isn't aware of "special" objects that other extensions create - it treats everything as regular edges and faces.

                    It's two arcs and a circle, without any face. So no surprise Cleanup deletes these edges.

                            Hi Thom, hope you're doing well. πŸ‘

                            Between your CleanUp Tools and Edge Tools I'm wondering if you have thought about adding an option to move all verticies to Z=0. I often import dwg files that for some reason some lines are just that tiny bit off Z which causes all sorts of issues in finding out what is and isn't flattened....

                            What do you think?

                            Love your work!

                            purpose/expression/purpose/....

                                Thanks so much for your plugins, enjoy the cookie. I'm pretty new posting on this forum althought I have been following all of you guys and your fantastic work for a long time. Recently I'm working in a large model and your plugin is givin me a couple of errors of the model.

                                Results of Validity Check.

                                CLoop (1154934) does not reference CFace (1161656) - fixed
                                The plane equation for CFace (4395989) is not valid - fixed

                                Both of then never seem to be fixed after running the plugin. Also straight after closing Sketchup, it will create a bug splat! Is driving me mad πŸ˜• and can't find which part of the model is doing it. Any help will be great. Thank you

                                    Try running Edge Tools on the problem model's geometry [edit 'containers' to access their contents etc]...
                                    Duplicated vertices that are not 'welded' have been cited as culprits for this kind of thing...

                                      Thanks TIG, spoke with Rich and that was he suggestion too. So i run edge inspector in each component of the model and ended up fixing thousands of tiny gaps/edges. After the whole process (didn't take as long as I was imagining) all fixed and no more crashes! Thanks again for all your tips and great plugins.

                                        I imported an STL file into sketchup 2014 and I am trying to clean the faces with cleanup and it appears to cause some problems.

                                        I am using SuSolid to check whether the model is watertight. Directly after i import, the SuSolid shows no problem with the model. However after i ran cleanup, some issues appear. I am using Sketchup 2014.

                                        After running cleanup

                                            I have used MeshLab to decimate models and found it is best to limit the number of actions taken to one at a time and the sequence can also affect the out come. I have not used ThomThom's plugin but, trying to limit the number of corrections to few at a time may help you keep it a solid. In addition using Tig's solid solver has quite often helped after cleanup. What analyzer are you using one of the 3d printers?
