Did you try the file I sent you?
I apologize for any inconvenience, I threw inputbox.rb file in the wrong folder, now replaced in the folder
\ Program Files (x86) \ Google \ Google SketchUp 8 \ Plugins \ TT_Lib2
Everything works fine.
Many thanks for the sympathy! -

Hi ThomThom.... I just recently discovered your plugin, and Iยดm really excited to test it out, but I get that same blank window in Windows 7 x64 running Sketchup 8, and Internet Explorer 8. Here are my screenshots, maybe they'll help you sort it out.
Update TT_Lib to 2.5.7 - I hope this finally fixes things.

I'll post an update to TT_Lib shortly. Not sure if it helps, but we'll see.
Meanwhile, do you see a Compatibility Files button in Windows explorer when you view the plugins folder?
Yep, I see the "Compatibility Files" button when I'm im the Plugins folder.
EDIT: Wow I seem to have missed a lot of posts.. lol. Reading.

That might be causing the problems. Ensure you have admin rights and move the files from that folder to the plugins folder. Windows Vista/7 some times moves things to a ghost folder to "protect" users - but when it comes it the plugins folder it just causes problems.

Didn't have to do that, TT_Lib 2.5.7 works like a charm! I'll keep that "compatibility files" thing in mind in case of further problems. Thanks a lot for the quick fix!

just a global explode.
That ain't a "just"...
It might cause geometry to merge - which you do not want. Plus, Explode can be dreadfully slow...Thinking about this again, TT.
Could you implement something that selects all on same layer, group it and name the group the layer name. Then change using CleanUp use Geometry to 0 would do just that....Maybe?

When I use this plugin in the newest version, it merges materials with the same color attributes, even though they use different images. I am pretty sure that did not happen before, as I just recently discovered this great plugin. How does it compare the materials and decide which ones can be merged?
Also, I do not fully understand every function of it. What does "Remove Edge Materials" do? It has no tooltip which explains its function. -

You mean it differs since what version? I did not change anything to the code doing the cleaning between 3.1.4 and 3.1.6.
Do you have a sample model?@pherim said:

It removes the material from the edges.

I believe I first used version 3.1.4, and it did not happen with this version, as far as I remember. I have attached a small model which contains four materials that merge into two when I use Cleanup.
cleanup_test.skpHm, I do not consider myself a sketchup beginner, but I was not aware that edges can have a material. What is this good for?

Well there is absolutely no change in the last three versions that should affect that. But I'll have a look.

I for one use it when I have imported Cad plans to colour code various layers etc. But you have to set the current Style to use the edge materials, as the default is to use black.

I'm seeing the issue. And I found the bug.
I'm also seeing a new bug where the settings is not remembered between sessions... -
Version 3.1.7
- Fixed a bug where materials with different texture but identical colour merged.
- Update to TT_Lib 2.5.8 required!
-
That was fast! Thank you, now it works!
-
+1
Thank you very much!
-
Version 3.1.8
Fixed a bug that could occur for users with SketchUp older than version 8. -
Feature suggestion: instead of those preset cleaning options (Erase hidden geometry, stray edges, geometry on layer 0, and so on), it would be nicer to have the possibility to save customized presets from Clean webdialog. Maybe a field for preset name, then save.
Thank you

why arent these coplanar faces (from two different GoogleEarth imported meshes) merged?
in this thread, I first tried to use the 2D Boolean plugin. To no use, as we can see here. There are still plenty of coplanar faces where the GoogleEarth imported meshes overlap.
