[REQ] Tool to delete faces without thickness.

[bagatelo]

It would be possible to create a tool to delete the edges that form a face that does not form a solid?

In the sample image, I wish erase the blue faces.

Select the faces in question then try this on-liner type/copy+paste it into the Ruby Console + <enter>

Sketchup.active_model.selection.to_a.each{|f|next if not f.valid? or not f.class==Sketchup;;Face; f.edges.each{|e|e.erase! if e.valid? and not e.faces[1]}}

it does what you ask...

Copy+paste this code into a new file called DeleteSelectedNonSolidFaces.rb and on a restart you will get a Plugins menu item of that name - shortcut-key to that as desired...
