[Plugin] CleanUp

Did you scale the instance - or the definition?

For what it is worth
I play around with other non SU mesh analysis tool(s)for own education and often find SU self intersecting faces, zero area faces and duplicate vertices but the SU models looks very good. It would be nice to know what "fix problems" really means.

Initially I scale up the loose geometry and then scale back down before creating the component so the definition has the correct size. Sometimes I'll get the component started at normal size--maybe just a profile and Follow Me path--and then make the component. Scale up a copy and do whatever it would be that creates the tiny faces. then I just delete the big copy leaving the original where it was and complete.

Scaling the instance doesn't make a difference, does it? As when you modify you always deal with the source data, the definition - so an instance scaled would (should) mean no difference. ...though SU always surprise me...

Dave R

Well, no, it doesn't (or shouldn't) but, well...

I frequently run into models where someone has drawn something small with it scaled up, made it a component and then scale it down without opening the component. When you bring another copy in from the component library, it is a giant. I generally just wait to make the component until after correcting the size. I guess I could also open the component for editing and scale down the geometry, too.

Hi TomTom,

first of all:

Thank you for this plugin, it´s one of my first time favorites!!!
Anyway, after upgrading to the last released version (also updated TT Lib to the latest), i got the new cleanup dialog somehow messed up when it pos up - does anybody know how to fix this?

The formatting of the lines is somehow messed up...

Dave R

Hover the cursor over the right edge of the dialog box. You'll get a double-headed arrow. Click to grab the edge of the box and move the right edge inward.

Hmm, if I understand u right, I should resize the box - is it what u mean? I tried, but whatever size i make, the messy look stays. The checkboxes and lines and background do not lineup.

thx for the fast reply!

Dave R

That's odd. If resizing doesn't work, my next inclination would be to close SU and delete the registry entry for WebDialog_TT_CleanUp. then reopen SU and run CleanUp again. It may straighten it out. At least the registry entry will get rewritten. If you want to try that and are unsure of how to do it, drop me a PM.

Sorry, but it's not working:

So we found the issue @ least:

If u are using TT_Cleanup make shure u have installed internet explorer 8, else the webdialog menue might not be displayed correctly.

thx again for your great plugins, Tom!

I'm guessing you are still have IE6 installed? Absolute minimum supported IE is IE7 - but I strongly recommend updating to IE8. (Soon IE9)

Ah - you're using SketchUp 6. Seems to be an error in the SU6 spesific code for removing materials. I didn't get around to test that. I'll have a look at it.

Both my Sketchup and Internet Explorer are Eight!!

But you haven't updated to the latest maintenance release, have you? Versions prior to the recent M1 release need to use a workaround to merge materials - which is where the bug lies.

thomthom

Version 3.1.3

Fixed bug in merge materials for SketchUp version prior to SU8M1.

bagatelo

I updated everything.

Do not worry,thomthom. I use the old version. Thanks.
