      Sorry - I made a typo. It's Sketchup - not SketchUp - the thing is case sensitive.

            The plugin works only on SU 8, because the function i use the check if it's a solid is a new function in v8.

            thanks for your confirmation πŸ˜„

            still so much to learn..

                That's because solids had not been included in SU 7 and are only available since SU 8.

                Should be able to work anyway. There is not difference in the geometry, it's just that SU8 knows how to recognize solids.

                The plugin works only on SU 8, because the function i use the check if it's a solid is a new function in v8.

                You could use the method I use with Solid Inspector - check that all edges have two faces connected. Then it'd work on older versions. Of course for SU8 and newer you want to use the built in version that's very quick.

                  Nice plugin. It could be very useful. I tried it on a model that someone sent to me the other day. It fixed a few things in one component but still left errors. There were a lot of errors in that component to begin with and it certainly would reduce the time required to manually fix it. Unfortunately the plugin doesn't always seem to recognize that a component is not solid. At least it doesn't recognize that the component in the attached SKP is not solid although you can easily see several problems that keep it from being considered solid.

                            I haven't downloaded it yet, but I am very interested in using this plug-in to help heal solids for use in BSP based video game making.

                                    😍 πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ worthy and timesaving, esp for me when impoert/export between wings3d and Sketchup in some cases!!!!
                                    i.e when I was modeling this chair part,... it was a big bother... I must use wings for its sud... and SU for boleans... it was really confusing , to me to model this, and find small gaps and fix them when import/export datas

                                      Great Plugin thanks man.

                                      Thanks to this, I dont need to rebuild my forms when it is just one small line that cause it to go out of place.

                                      I use this in conjunction with Solid Inspector http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=30504 , this is a great combo.

                                        though it would be nice to try and mention on the front page that this version doesn't work on components (yet), only on groups

                                          Frank, don't hold your breath. It's going on two years since the OP said he'd make the plugin work on components and it hasn't happened. It probably won't.

                                            This plugin try to fix non-manifold solids (groups and components) to manifold solids.

                                            fixSolid fix the following problems:

                                            • heal missing faces
                                            • remove single edges
                                            • remove separate faces
                                            • remove edges between coplanar faces
                                            • remove innerfaces
                                            • remove all edges with only 1 face connected (RISKY FIX)

                                            fixSolid.JPG

                                            Install:
                                            The plugin is a SU Extensions. Go to the SketchUp Extensions and choose Install Extension... Choose the file fixSolid.rbz and the plugin will automatically be installed.

                                            on OS X (Mac): SketchUp -> Preferences -> Extensions
                                            on Windows: Window -> Preferences -> Extensions

                                            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 he solid.
                                            3. Select 'Fix Solid'
                                            4. You can set two options:
                                            • Risky fix: if you choose a risky fix it's 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 problems with no risk.
                                            • Fix coplanar faces: If you choose no, the edges between coplanar will not be removed.

                                            Remark:
                                            Please send me solids which can't be fixed at this moment so I can try to expand the numbers of solids which can be fixed.
