NEW RELEASE: EdgeInspector v1.1a - 15 Feb 14
EdgeInspector 1.1a is a release which introduces the detection and fixing of 2 new defects: lost junctions and needle-eyes.
This comes from an original request by rv1974 (I will soon add the Fake Holes detection so that he owes me a Nobel prize!).

Had some field tests- This is Rock-solid tool! Very stable and polished. Amazing!
What I noticed sometimes Inspector leaves some bad vertexes that it won't be able to remove
(see attached). It could be easily solved by coping the faces only, deleting everything and inserting the copied.

Nice work! Thank you!

These last two are detected, but are not fixed, because the method assumes segments are perfectly aligned for Sketchup.
By the way, RemoveLonelyVertices does not detect them either.
I'll see if I can do something to trap these cases and fix them.

Don't bother. Make a Groove Maker Tool instead.

For a magnifier tool I asked years before when Pixdim comes out
Thanks for it!

NEW RELEASE: EdgeInspector v1.2a - 12 Oct 14
EdgeInspector 1.2a is a major release which is fixing a number of problems with 3 tools: Lost Junctions, Tiny Gaps and Tiny Edges.
This release provides a more accurate and relevant inspection and fixing:
- Tiny Edges are now detected and fixed in groups (loop, hook and sequence)
- Tiny Gaps are detected more adequately and fixed either by moving vertices or by moving the whole connected shapes (to keep the integrity of geometry)
- Lost Junctions receives a more accurate treatment

Hello Fredo 6, thank you for this plugin that seems to be really awesome!
I don't know if it's the good place to ask for some help using this tool, didn't find any subject about it in the forum.. The problem is that everytime i try to fix the defects calculated in Edge Inspector, i get the same error message saying : error during inspection, Cannot convert argument to Sketchup::Point3d (with a list of errors)
What could i do to solve the problem ?Thank you

In order for me to help, could you post or send me the error full text, either as a copy paste, or by exporting the file as a txt.
Could you also tell me which correction tool(s) you were using.
I may also need the model, incase I do not see the problem from the error log.Thanks

Empty window.
Greetings,
When I select some edges and apply the Edgeinspector tool I have an empty window with no content:
What could be wrong here (except the problem between my chair and a screen)?
Thank you in advance. -

Hello Fredo,
It is quite strange, the image is visible on my equipment:
-
There must be a bug. Could you please open the Ruby Console before launching EdgeInspector and tell me the error you see.
Thanks
Fredo
-
Thanks Fredo for your reaction,
Here is the result, well no result at all. The Ruby Console is empty.
I have launched RConsole, selected a rectangle and activated Edgeinspector tool.http://screenshot.net/095oxs2.jpg
PS
I have just noticed that on the other PC with apparently with the same plugin set and configuration (SU 2015) the plugin works well.
Bizarre. Is the any potential conflict to take into consideration?
If yes what shall I check?Thank you in advance for your kind assistance Fredo.
-
Did you try without edge preselection ?
Fredo
-
Do you mean Whole Model?
Same results. Empty Edge Inspector box.I have found the following in Ruby Console (I typed before several SU sessions: 'edgeinspector' - the Ruby Content has stil remained there):
edgeinspector
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or methodedgeinspector' for main:Object> <main>:in<main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'Finally I have managed it to work by a crazy chance.
I have change something in option shrink... by clicking on a tiny square. Now I have an option bar for each tool including Edge Inspector box content.http://screenshot.net/r577nc6.jpg
I have another issue with Drawalong tool though.
I cannot assign a letter/keyboard shortcut to it.
Any combination I have tried (my prefered a letter D) when typed it opens a web browser with a youtube page with instruction video.Is there any solution to the issue, any possibility to have a key shortcut to Drawalong tool?

I think that in the Preferences - Short Cut dialog box, you filter with "DrawAlong". This shows the Video menu.
You should filter with "Draw Along", with a space, which will display the main command.Fredo

Huge thanks.
It does work as you have described.
But you have to admit that its a too tricky for an everyman user. The tool name is DrawAlong (no space).I will be aware such possibilities in the future.
Best regards with my gratitude for your responses.
