very usful tools, wait for longtime, thanks

Crevard

now i can finally work my things out thanks to you , merging from archicad is not a problem anymore , u rock !!!!!!!

Armed with more info from Simone Nicolo I now have a better method for detecting coplanar faces - the same method Sketchup use. I think it's 100% reliable. No more messing about with tolerances.

Highly recommended update!

Hey Thom, I am having some tolerance problems on a script I'm working on. Comparing Point3d objects. Do you have some insight that might help me make my comparisons more stable?

Chris Fullmer

Oh darn, I see the solution you are using really is specifically for face co-planar-ness detection. So it will not help with my point comparison. I do have 3 points though, and they should all be on the same line. So maybe I can use the same concept, and test if all 3 are on the same line, instead of just tesing if 2 of them are identical. I'll let you know how it goes.

They should be on the same line - and two are identical? On the same place?

I've found my tolerance flaw - it is my brain's intolerance for writing code til 4:00 in the morning. I am not having tolerance flaws, but I was having classify_point mis-use issues. I am getting closer to figuring it out.

Does this script erase co-linear lines or lines on top of each other?

thomthom

? Edges on top of another edge? Is that pre SU7 models?

It's an imported .dwg file into an SU8 model.

Thom, could you explain what the option "ignore normals" means?

"Normal" - refers to the direction of the face. You can have two co-planar faces next to each other, but one facing up, and one facing down. When "Ignore Normals" is enabled it means that coplanar faces with inverse normals will be merged.

This is something I hope to be able to improve in V3 - better descriptions.

Jim

Thanks, makes sense.

Once you know it - but maybe not so intuitive when you don't...

May I humbly request a close-open functionality (with custom search radius defined by user)? Just similar to closeopens.rb

Funny you should mention that. I began on a small utility today:

You are unhealthy unstoppable But don't make it a separate tool. Insert it in the cleanup. Those rubies pullulate like cockroaches

I was planning on adding it to Edge Tools. One completely automatic, one where on can inspect, like solid inspector.

Could add the automatic version to CleanUp3.

oh, will that be in the near future?

CleanUp 3 and Edge Tools 2 will be out next week. ( And the feature of closing small caps will be in Edge Tools. )

Tested the plug-in here on such a model. Does not work.
Inside a lot of extra polygons.
