          Hi Thom, hope you're doing well. πŸ‘

          Between your CleanUp Tools and Edge Tools I'm wondering if you have thought about adding an option to move all verticies to Z=0. I often import dwg files that for some reason some lines are just that tiny bit off Z which causes all sorts of issues in finding out what is and isn't flattened....

          What do you think?

          Love your work!

          purpose/expression/purpose/....

              Thanks so much for your plugins, enjoy the cookie. I'm pretty new posting on this forum althought I have been following all of you guys and your fantastic work for a long time. Recently I'm working in a large model and your plugin is givin me a couple of errors of the model.

              Results of Validity Check.

              CLoop (1154934) does not reference CFace (1161656) - fixed
              The plane equation for CFace (4395989) is not valid - fixed

              Both of then never seem to be fixed after running the plugin. Also straight after closing Sketchup, it will create a bug splat! Is driving me mad πŸ˜• and can't find which part of the model is doing it. Any help will be great. Thank you

                  Try running Edge Tools on the problem model's geometry [edit 'containers' to access their contents etc]...
                  Duplicated vertices that are not 'welded' have been cited as culprits for this kind of thing...

                    Thanks TIG, spoke with Rich and that was he suggestion too. So i run edge inspector in each component of the model and ended up fixing thousands of tiny gaps/edges. After the whole process (didn't take as long as I was imagining) all fixed and no more crashes! Thanks again for all your tips and great plugins.

                      Hi

                      I imported an STL file into sketchup 2014 and I am trying to clean the faces with cleanup and it appears to cause some problems.

                      CEdge (15569) and CEdge (1510) connect the same 2 vertices - fixed
                      CEdge (14024) and CEdge (1479) connect the same 2 vertices - fixed

                      The plane equation for CFace (15774) is not valid - fixed

                      I am using SuSolid to check whether the model is watertight. Directly after i import, the SuSolid shows no problem with the model. However after i ran cleanup, some issues appear. I am using Sketchup 2014.

                      After running cleanup

                          I have used MeshLab to decimate models and found it is best to limit the number of actions taken to one at a time and the sequence can also affect the out come. I have not used ThomThom's plugin but, trying to limit the number of corrections to few at a time may help you keep it a solid. In addition using Tig's solid solver has quite often helped after cleanup. What analyzer are you using one of the 3d printers?

                              The cleanup seems to delete wrong faces? The coplanar error appears only after the cleanup plugin is used to clean the model.

                                  Initial application of cleanup does a good job of fixing errors, then running TIG's solid solver had problems to the point of destroying model. That just haapens some times.
                                  After cleanup suggest you save the file as a stl you can then use one of the free apps some 3 d printers have and attempt to fix the model. The attached jpg shows my results using NetFab more work need to be done. Shapeway had a free service where they would run your model thru there app and possibly fix model. Sadly I have lost link and will have to look for it. Here is info I have
                                  base.jpg
                                  And the link on use of the app. It free version so does not give full capability

                                    Found 1 link http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/how_to_use_meshlab_and_netfabb.
                                    Since Su has a STL export plugin you do not need to use MESHLAB

                                        Found the cause of it. Actually its from the stl 😞 I have used netfabb to try to fix it. So, the CFace errors are those extra surfaces added from netfabb to make the model water tight. Then only i imported into sketchup and try to clean it. I managed to solve it by importing the stl directly, clean using cleanup, redraw uneven and erroneous faces. No problem after that. Thanks for the replies mac1
