[Plugin] Solid Inspector
-
While I really appreciate TT's SI2's ability to fix problems, (for me it works well about 90%++ of the time) it would be better if it could simply highlight an "unfixable" problem, now indicated as "info" and maintain that highlight when exiting the tool, so I can find it fast and fix it manually.
Perhaps, by creating a group on its own temporary layer that traces/duplicates the unfixable errors and renders them in red lines/faces, as is done now to identify those errors. That way I can see and fix any problem outside SI2, then simply delete the highlight layer/group.
Just a thought.....

I just noticed something; whenever I import an SU-8 model into SU-2015 and make edits to some faces (in what was a perfect solid in SU-8 or SU-15) I often end up with multiple faces off single lines that SI-2 does not see, and SU says it is no longer solid.
It has happened in 3 models so far, and I quite often get 3 faces on a single lined perimeter. When I delete just the extraneous faces, it regains solidity.
It does not happen when the solid originates in SU-15.
Betchya nobody else sees this.

Your plugin saved my life, thank you

Hi ThomThom, I've been using SI2 for a couple of weeks and is awesome. I totally loved it, but right now I'm checking on a component and it says everything is fine, but still doesn't appear to be a solid component. Dunno what else to do
Thanks

Are you able to share the model?

This is not a post about the (excellent) Solid Solver in particular, but it applies to it as well so that is why I am using it as an example.
I have problems with eye strains and feel quite uncomfortable looking at many of the low-resolution extension icons that are piling up inside my SU workspace. It looks like they are all out of focus on my Mac retina display, so I found a simple way to upgrade many of them using this simple method. See attached image.
I hope someone else out there find this information helpful as well.

I just updated this extension to 2.4.4 in order to add some extra debug code for a particular persistent bug I'm getting reports of - which I've been unable to reproduce.
Please update to the latest version in order to ensure you can submit error reports with better info back to me.
Also, if you run into issues, if you can, please post the model in this thread. (Try to undo whatever Solid Inspector might have tried to fix and submit the model as it where before fixing.)

Have a strange issue with Solid Inspector2. Posting screenshot of an example. Modeled the cube at correct size for a casino dice. Made a component. Scaled up 1000x. Drew the "pips" in the scaled up copy, 24 sided circle. Ran Roundcorner on the edges. SU shows it as solid but if I run Solid Inspector I get "short edges" for basically every intersection. No line segment in the scaled up copy is shorter than 2.5". I see this behavior in a lot of different models.
Where the problem comes in I will get a "fix model" prompt when closing SU and if you let it fix the model it will destroy some of your geometry. In this models case it's at the corners of the dice. I'm sure it's something I'm doing but like I said I see this a lot in small objects that I do modifications on in a scaled up copy.Edit - forgot to mention.... SU2015Pro on Mac osx 10.10.5

Hello Thom and Forum.
Maybe it is too late, but I never succeed installing solid inspector in my SU 8 pro.
My laptop is the old one windows 7 64 bit with 2 GB RAM, and it was enough for my daily works.
The oldest version found at github is v1.2.0
I read somewhere that v1.1.0 could be work ?
an what is the TT_lib version for that.
But where is it, can not find that file.
Please help
Many Thanks !
