Use the browser's search feature to quickly find things. (Often F3 activates it)

Remove Inner Faces by wikii in the Plugins Index.

Have you looked at TIGs tools?

I have, in fact I have been trying to compile a Rubies folder on this subject, which is far from complete. Here is what I have so far.

TIG solid solver
TT cleanup
Fix solid
ky delete Interior faces
wikii remove Inner Faces
none of them perform interior face removal

Thanks! it was the first one I tried a while ago, it also did not meet the test.
I added to my list, in the event someone else is searching this subject.

Actually, olishea said it first. I was just clarifying who what the when where and how.

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

NO! I mean like the attached pic. The left image in xray mode shows the cubes and interior faces. the right image in xray mode shows the manual removal of the exterior edges. Naturally in this simple example the manual removal of the exterior edges automatically also deleted the interior unwanted faces. But in more complex organic meshes this is not always that simple.

Linked right above the download link - under the "Requirements" header.

Seems there is not an inner faces selection eraser?

david_h

Thanks. I have that and I have run the little installer as well.

It's going now. thank you.

You see. . this is why I really shouldn't be wearing the green badge.

I can't get it to work for Sketchup 8 pro, I pasted the file "tt_cleanup.rb" in the sketchup plugins folder but I get a (Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb)
Can you please help?
I also posted on your video on YouTube, sorry for the inconvenience

massimo

Have you also installed the TT_Lib2 as clearly stated in the very first post under "Requirements"?

shifo1002000

I followed your instructions and it worked thanks a million

thomthom

I'll repackage the plugin as an RBZ and better message for missing TT_Lib2.

with what settings should I clean up this file?

It keeps losing surfaces, could you work your magic and tell me what settings to use?
I really hope this works!

thomthom

I'm out traveling so I cannot open the file right now. But I'll guess that the missing faces are very small. When edges are less near and less than 1mm things like that start happening. You'd then have to scale up the model.
Note that scaling the instance won't work. You'd have to open up the group or component.

Ok so I scaled it with 200%, with what setting should I start the cleanup?

thomthom

I don't know what settings to recommend because I do not know what result you expect. All the settings are for different proposes.

Btw, 2 times might not be enough scaling. You might have to scale up by 10, 100 or 1000 times.
