      with what settings should I clean up this file?

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/vpqng31chal8v4l/brad%20kussens.skp

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

        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.

            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.

                  Please disregard my question below. The std RBZ installer in my SU8 doesn't seem to work so having read some of your related info I simply changed the RBZ's to ZIP, unpacked them, and moved them to the plug in folder. PU's seem to work fine. Looking fwd to using your cleanup PI ... sounds awesome.

                  Tks.

                  Hi, I'm new to the plug in concept in SU so my apologies in advance.
                  Im on Mac OS10.8.3 / SUpro V8.

                  I am keen to install your cleanup PI and I keep getting the following error
                  "SketchUp was unable to install the Extension you have chosen for some unknown reason.
                  Consult your Extension's documentation for additional help"
                  It seems to come up regardless of the rbz file that I am trying to install.

                  Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

                    That sounds like a issue that appear from time to time - where OSX users for some reason didn't have full access to the Plugins folder. Once they gave them selves full access they where able to use the RBZ installation feature.

                        HELP!

                        Hello,

                        I have never posted before and I'm sorry to interrupt a conversation but I am having trouble installing the cleanup plugin. I keep getting an error message saying that google was not able to install the plugin for an unknown reason. I use V.8. and I am currently using a pro trial.

                        Thanks

                          The most likely problem is that you haven't set up full read and write permissions for the Plugins folder. Do that and try to install again.

                            Hey Thomthom,

                            I am using Cleanup every day (or every other minute pretty much). Even got a shortcut assigned that I use as naturally as a wet dog shakes itself dry - its become a reflex!

                            However, sometimes this reflex rips apart my models, especially when having used plugins like Curviloft prior to it or pretty much every time I import a .3ds file...

                            One such model is this shiny new Bialetti Espresso Maker (just finished modelling it πŸ˜„ ).
                            Bialetti_EspressoMaker.skp

                            When I run Cleanup over it, it gets destroyed. Even when I scale it up 100x...

                            Is there any way to change the cleanup settings to avoid this?

                              Well it works fine for me, without scaling anything, with these settings:

                                Hi

                                Thanks in advance. Just installed cleanup. Looks great!
                                I have the TT Lib2 2.7.1 but the installer is calling for 2.8 which i cannot seem to find. The download link does not work.

                                  it was the "Ignore Normals" setting. I had this one ticked. Now its working for me too.
                                  Thanks for the help!

                                      When using Fredo6's plugin checker it suggests that I do not have the most recent version of cleanup, even though I have installed it. The checker appears to be calling for an earlier version. What's up doc!

                                        As Dave mentions - this is some bug with SketchUp where some users doesn't have proper access to their plugins folder. I'm not a Mac guy, so I don't know the exact steps to correct the folder permissions. :s

                                          When you scale up groups/components you scale only the instance - the definitions are still small. You'd have to "Scale Definitions" for the scaling trick to work.

                                          That's odd though, the normals of your model appeared to be correctly oriented and in any case it shouldn't break. But that's probably due to the very small size of the faces.

                                          You have a very old version of CleanUp. I'd recommend you update.
