hey guys, I am new to this, I am trying to install this plugin but it won't work while others do work, for some reason it doesnt show in my sketchup interface, or in the plugins menu.. help
See if this article helps: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/
I'd advice you to check out the installer utility linked in the article. -
I downloaded this tool, but for some reason it does not show up under my Plugins tool bar?
-
Well, you give us almost nothing to go on to help you.
Where did it get saved when you downloaded it? It has to go into SketchUp's Plugins folder for which you must have full read and write permissions. Did you also download and install TT_lib2 as directed in the first post of this thread? I'm guessing you didn't follow the instructions that were given or the plugin would work.
-
thank you so much !!!
great plugin !
-
thank you for this plug-ins i will try it later. keep it up!
-
OK so i downloaden the TT_lib2 (2.7.1) file and the tt_cleanup file and put into the plug in folder.
Why is it crashing? at startup it said: Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb -
Did you install TT_Lib2? Using the Install Extension button under Preferences? Or did you just copy the RBZ file to your plugins folder?
And when you say "crash" - did SketchUp BugSplat? (Or did you mean you got an error message?)
-
Sure, you must load also the new TTlib so TT_lib 2
(yes install plugins is more & more boring!
-
I couldn't find the install extention button..
this is the bugsplat: Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbI just copied the 2 files into the extentions folder

You need SketchUp 8 M2 or newer.

That is an error message. It is not a crash or bugsplat. It's a big difference and knowing exactly what it is makes it easier when trying to solve the problem.

RBZ files needs to be installed with the Install Extension feature.

Thank you very much Sir,
Thomthom, indeed it is an awesome plugin that i can proudly say one plugin you cannot be without in Sketchup.
Thank you very much again, Salutations.

I got the plug in working but I have A model that's giving me trouble.
what settings should I need to clean up this file? -
I wouldn't be able to tell - not knowing what result you are looking for. Nor do I know what problem you are experiencing - and what settings you used then.
-
I just need clean faces. With how the model now is it had all kinds of holes and gaps in the faces.
-

Need a lot more info than that. Error messages? Result not what you expected? No menus?

That looks to be due to poor geometry in the model. Not something that can automatically fixed. When I opened the DWG in AutoCAD I got a warning I'd never seen before, it'd encountered 30 errors and wanted to abort loading the file.

I created a simple cube greeble ruby a while ago that draws an array of cubes in xy, xz, yz, or xyz planes. My idea was to carve out cubes from these arrays to create other 3d objects, retaining the basic cube module, much like the Voxel idea. Attached is 3d object file.
I ran Cleanup on this file. but it was unable to delete the redundant interior faces.
In addition is Cleanup able to remove the unnecessary exterior cube lines while retaining the integrity of the 3d object?
-
Cleanup does not remove internal faces. It's a very difficult thing to do - determining what is "inside" from code. Look at TIGs list of plugins, he have at least one that does that job.

"unnecessary exterior cube lines" - you mean like mending a set of colinear edges into a single edge? That is can do.

Thanks for the help, I was working on a Solidworks file and wanted it as an sketchup file. So I made it a .dwg and there is the result.
Do you know a way to get a solidworks model into a sketchup file?
