        why it doesn't work in SketchUp 8?

        Also there are similar plugins so I can try them?

          It works on SketchUp 8 for me but the one in Artisan is much better. You should use that.

            Thanks so much for the plugin! Maybe my frustations in rendering crashes will end now...

                  From the first post in this thread:

                  @whaat said:

                  Usage:

                  1. Select the faces that you want to perform the reduction on.
                  2. Right click and select 'Polyreduce' from the context menu.
                  3. Input the percentage reduction. For example, select 20 to reduce the number of vertices by 20%.
                  4. A recommended workflow is to perform several reductions using a smaller percentage (50% or less). Then, use the 'undo' and 'redo' commands to cycle through the reduction operations to choose the level of detail you are most satisfied with.

                        Use the Sketchucation Extension Store. Download it, go to Window>Extension Manager and select Install Extension. Find the rbz file, select it, click Open and the affirmative answers to the next message boxes. From there, you can install any extensions from Sketchucation automatically.

                            Hi guys,

                            I installed this extension ( several times ), but can't find it back in SU 2017.
                            Any tips please?

                              How did you install it? Where are you looking for it "back in SketchUp"?

                                Assuming that all other installation issues are addressed and it's still compatible with v2017... [ it is almost a decade old ! ], then, as its simple instructions explain, you need to select some faces and right-click > context-menu... to run the tool.

                                Remember that not every tool has a menu entry or a toolbar.

                                    Any chance to "fix" this so that it works in 2018+

                                    The drop-down list has the option to select values that don't work, due to a text-issue?

                                    ("10
                                    20
                                    30
                                    40
                                    50
                                    60
                                    70
                                    80
                                    90")

                                    10 and 90 don't work, but they are "doing something", which can be undone. However, if you don't "undo", it can break the model.

                                    Seems like it is just a simple format issue for the list. (Apparently reading the value from the list, instead of reading the values from an INDEX of a LIST. So, the odd text in the first and last values sort-of break the script.)

                                    Personally... I would like to see a slider with 1%, 2% or 5% increments. Maybe also an option to just do a triangulation first, as 0%... Something that would yield some "corrective action", before reducing polygons, if needed. (I don't always agree with the way it triangulates some surfaces, as it doesn't favor neat reductions. Being able to see the way it is going to divide it, before reducing it, allows for some manual triangulation of those potential troubled parts.)

                                    Another option would be to subdivide first... (Creating a smoother potential which to begin a more accurate reduction that may retain those micro-details more, without harming large flat surfaces as much.)

                                      I fix it : in file polyreduce.rb (open wiht notepad)
                                      at line 342 enums=[["10|20|30|40|50|60|70|80|90"]]
                                      need make it like this : enums=[" 10|20|30|40|50|60|70|80|90 "]
                                      and all is work.
                                      after polyreduce need make fix model, is deleting some garbage from.
                                      (sorry for mine english)
