      I'm looking for the Purge All script. I've used it before but I don't know where I got it from.
      Smustard doesn't have it and the Ruby Library Depot is down. I've searched this forum and can't find it here either.
      Does anybody have it that can post it?
      Thanks.

                Quick question. When you say purge all, what exactly does it purge? It just sounds a bit scary.

                  Good point... It Purges all UNUSED Components, Layers, Materials, Styles.

                        'Purge' is used in the sense of cleansing - purifying - getting rid of unwanted things.

                        It is the automated version of 'Purge Unused...' option that's available as a pop-out for individual types of things.

                        This script will remove from the model's data-base unused Components, Layers, Materials or Styles in any combination - allowing you to keep say Materials whilst clearing up the rest... It also reports what's been done if that option is selected. You already can globally purge-unused everything using the Model Info > Statistics dialog - but then that's everything that's unused - no choices, and you might want to keep some kinds of things...

                        .

                          But doesn't the "PURGE UNUSED" option in MODEL INFO->STATISTICS just the same?

                              As TIG says and Burkhard quoted you have options with the plugin. In addition, you can set a keyboard shortcut for it to make it easier to do.

                                Well, it might not provide any fancy effects but this is an addictive little tool.
                                Its amazing how much "stuff" is hiding in the background that you are unaware of.
                                Particulary after importing CAD drawings it removes a lot of unwanted content.
                                I keep wanting to run it every five minutes to see if it can remove anything else that shouldn't be there!

                                Thanks.

                                    Try doing a manual purge by going to Window>Model Info>Statistics>Purge All

                                    See if that crahes SU also.

                                      Sounds like it's something with the model.

                                          I've recently had some issues with purge all and VRay 1.05. Basically the purge all removes some relinked Jpeg texture overides (they remain in the Sketchup Model but just doesn't render). Can be fixed easily be relinking the image. Is there a way around this? Or should I create SKMs manually for all the new textures I use?
