and this cleanup plugin works perfectly when kept in isolation in a separate folder.
What do you mean by this? Can I see a screenshot of the plugins folder?
in isolation i mean if i create a new plugins folder, and install all the requisite ttlib and support files , the plugin works perfect
The window works as well?
Then it must be something in the way it was unpacked in your original folder.
I see that in the HTML list you have that you had aTT_Lib2 - 2.5.5.zip- what is the version of TT_Lib2 you had installed in your main plugin folder? The latest is 2.6.0 - and CleanUp 3.1.8 requires at least TT_Lib 2.5.8.From the HTML list you sent there seemed to me some unusual files in your plugins folder. I saw several files with same name, but in .rb and. rbs format. Looked very odd. And there was a set of ui.html, ui.js and ui.css in the root plugins folder, which also looks very unusual. Normal convention is that any additional file is located within a subfolder. So I wonder if you might have a few rouge files in your plugin folder that might need cleaning up.
Btw, are you running Vista or Windows7? There has been some issues where files copied to the plugins folder has ended up in a compatibility folder - casing problems. In which case you should see a "Compatibility Files" button in Explorer when you browse the plugins folder.

I see you also have files such as:
extensions.rb
sketchup.rbThese are files that comes with SketchUp and they should be in the Tools folder. I think there might have been a time where they did come in the Plugins folder, but that's a while back. So if you have copied your plugins folder every time you have upgraded SketchUp you have dragged along these old files. And that means that SU loads the old versions you have in the Plugins folder instead of the more recent ones in the Tools folder.
Your plugins folder definitely needs some cleaning up.

TT_Lib - version 1.x - is only related to Selection Toys. TT_Lib2 does not replace it.
But you really should clean up your plugins folder - as them files I mentioned should not be there and can cause issues.

hi Thomas,
i'd like to ask about what could probably went wrong when i got this later,
the interface look a bit messy.
and how to prevent it to happen ever again later.
thank you, Thomthom. -

Keep your Internet Explorer updated. While you might not use IE as a browser, the IE Engine is embedded into the system. Many applications make use the the IE engine for various reasons - such as SketchUp that uses it for WebDialogs. IE6 is dead - and MS is aggressively phasing out any older versions of IE. They will soon start to auto update users. As of version 9 IE becan to catch up with other browsers and with the coming IE10 they will have done a great leap. This means that we( developers ) can make more powerful thing. But to do so we must be able to ignore these older versions of IE - they are a royal pain in the rear end. I've had my share of IE frustrations as a former webdeveloper - but I still suffer from it as I make webdialogs UI for SketchUp plugin. But I'm dropping support for older IE version - I really do not have the time to address them.
Another reason to keep your IE up to date is that it makes your system more secure considering how integrated the IE engine is into the OS. So just make life easier for yourself and us developers and keep your IE up to date.

i see. thank you Thomas.
btw, i only have IE 7 and 8 at the moment. which one would you suggest to install?
with XP SP3 i'm afraid i cannot follow IE 9? -
Update to the latest version available. That's best practice with any kind of software as it ensure you have all the fixes available for you.
-
it looks great now.
i reinstalled XP after it crashed. when i left home for three months. didn't know who did it.
i thought there's no point of reinstalling IE 8 again. since i don't use it anyway.
sorry for bothering you, Thomas.
thank you Thomas. -
No problem - glad it's working for you now.

Sorry, I'd forgotten to update the link of the Download button at last update. I fixed it now. The link underneath was always working however.

The heading indicates there is a Cleanup (3.1.8) However the file downloaded indicates Cleanup (3.1.7). Just a heads up that maybe you don't have the latest plugin in your first post.

Right, I re-uploaded. with a minor update that adds support for Fredo's update checker.
Thanks for the heads up!
Version 3.1.9
- Support for Fredo's Update checking utility

An issue I've had with the past couple version is with the plugin deleting faces. I don't recall having this issue with the first version. Do I have an incorrect setting checked or something?

The Merge Faces features should be the most stable ever in this version (3.x).
But maybe it's an issue with Erase Duplicate Faces. It's a very slow feature that can yield unpredictable results. It's why it is off by default and the tooltip has the warning.Ticking all the checkboxes doesn't mean the model gets cleaner - it just does different thing. So it's worth reading what they actually do.
I don't know what settings you have Brodie, so it's hard for me to tell anything more than that. If you have settings and a sample model I can have a look at it.

Here's the model and a screenshot of the settings below.

The number and location of faces which are deleted seems to have a certain random nature to it. Running the script, undoing the results, and running the script again a few times resulting in different results each time

Edit: the original model is from here and is free http://archive3d.net/?a=download&id=3dfc187e
