      This first, X-ray view pic shows some unwanted internal polys in this joint transition, highlighted in blue. Under normal SU conditions this would not create a problem.

      But if one were to do a remeshing procedure using an external program of this joint (ie. Do-Sabin) This joint would split into 4 individual pieces. However removing the internal polys (lines) before and then doing a Do-Sabin would create a uniform 1 piece joint.

      Is is possible to construct a Ruby script capable of Identifying and deleting all unused internal polys (lines) in an SU file?

              Problem is that the internal "square faces" are not coplanar! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
              So ruby "remove inner face" cant work ๐Ÿ˜’
              So you must ask a request in the Ruby section
              with a title like [REQ]Select internal lines
              don't believe that plug yet exist ๐Ÿ˜„
