[Plugin] Solid Inspector
-
Thanks!
When can we expect this
Future Ideas* Webdialog list of errors with description of each error. If possible, attempt to automatically fix.Automatically fix, o yes!

I don't know. It all depends on when I get a spare moment. I'm currently looking into some UV mapping tool.

Hi Thom. Here's a scenario - I have a Group I'm checking for a solid. It's quite big and takes a few seconds to open and close the Group. When I use Solid Inspector on the Group to find the errors, I then need to open the Group for editing to fix them, then close it to re-check - open, close, open, close, etc.
Would it be possible to tell the plugin to operator on the current context so we do not need to always change the context between checking and fixing?

Yea - I've been thinking it needs a function like that.
adding to the todo list

Hi there, would it be possible to tell solid :
this is (for example) : solid oak
solid oak is : 640 kg / cubic meter
solid weight : whatever volume * 640 in this case ?
that would be great.
thanx to you guys !

I've also written a solid checking tool about a year and a half ago here:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17876The next day TIG followed my plugin with one of his own that attempts to fix missing faces here:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=143720So you might already have a script that eill help detect and cleanup non-solids. Good luck,
Chris

This looks like it's going to help me a lot, (THANKS) I'm wondering about what it's telling me. In this particular group its says I have a mess but I'm not 100% sure why. So Orange is a hole and Red is an error? what kind of error? Looking at the pic below, what should I be looking to fix?
-
Check for internal faces, for a start. They are usually easier to find than small holes.
Stray edges, also but they can be harder to find especially if small. Todd's StrayLines is an excellent tool for finding those.
-
By the looks of it I'm guessing it's internal faces.
I'm adding it to my todo list to update this so it gives more info to exactly what the highlight error is. -
How about a plugin that actually fixes these glitches instead?
(Yes, I know, I know, we discussed it back in August already...)
-
...yea... it's there... somewhere on the list... ...the very long list...

This Plugin try to fix problems with groups that suppose to be solids but don't show up like a solid in SU.
fixSolid fix the following problems:
* remove single edges
* remove separate faces
* remove edges between coplanar faces
* remove innerfaces
* remove all edges with only 1 face connected (RISKY FIX)Usage: 1. Select solid
2. Right-Click Context-Menu. If the solid is broken the option 'FIX SOLID'
is present. If the option isn't present there are no problems with
the solid.
3. Select 'FIX SOLID'
4. You get the option to do a risky fix. If you choose a risky fix
it is possible that a part of the solid wil be deleted. This action can
be undone with the normal SU undo function. The risky fix try to fix
all problems, the normal fix only fixes problem with no risk.Download from: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=33471
