[Plugin] Purge All
-
Suggestion: to really purge a file to its bare minimum, maybe add an option to remove attributes (set by some plugins), ifc info etc?
-
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, ...

No need to make the plugin more complex. Just make a keyboard shortcut for it.

Here's v3.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
It's now signed for full compatibility with all current SketchUp versions, in all extension-loading-policies.
It also has the annoying display glitch fixed - where the report's formatting for materials tabbed over to the right too much ! -
Thanks TIG

Here's v4.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
It's now made fully compatible with v2020 - replacing 'Layers' with 'Tags' when prompting/reporting... -
Thank you sir.

Here's v5.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
It fixes the sometimes confusing reporting of groups getting included in the end components list [groups are component-definitions, but they are never purge-able].
It also address the log-file not opening on MAC's using newer versions of SketchUp... -
@TIG Could it be non-modal please - what exactly is the point of hitting OK?
-
@rv1974
It can't be non-modal because it uses the UI.inputbox which is always modal.
Thre has to be a way of closing the window - in this case it's OK or Cancel... -
@TIG How TT's Cleanup manages to be silent?
-
It doesn't use the simplae SUp UI.inputbox method, it uses TT's own HTMLdialog to make the interface.

@TIG if it's possible, I would love that add "purge environment" in your plugin.
-
I have looked at this in the past, and decided that the current limitations of the API / v2025 make it too awkward / too unstable to safely implement.
At the moment using Environments can be flaky, and is known to cause BugSplats, so although I have a working code set I won't be releasing it any time soon... -
@TIG Good and not-so-good news in your response: It's good to know you're already working on this, although a little sad because it won't be out anytime soon. I use this plugin in my modeling routine and enjoy seeing the report. Thanks for your response and great admiration for your work.
