    • RE: [Plugin] CleanUp

      Fortunately for me, unfortunately for debugging, I can't seem to reproduce my previous issues.

      In trying, I triple checked my cleaning settings, so perhaps I was just boneheaded and it was all user error. (I thought I went through and checked-unchecked the different settings, but maybe not).

      Anyhow, thanks for the response, if it happens again, I will be sure to attach the offending sample of model. Thanks again for all your awesome work!

    • RE: [Plugin] CleanUp

      Thom Thom et. all,

      I recently got a new computer (Mac running 10.9) and Sketchup 2015 and I am experiencing some odd issues. When I click Clean and run through the dialog box, many coplanar faces are not removed). When I then just click on the Merge Faces button, they are picked up. It seems to be fairly erratic though.

      Your help would be greatly appreciated, as CleanUp has been extremely useful over the years and is one of my most used plug-ins (and a large tool in my workflow). Thanks so much for all your awesome work!

    • RE: [Plugin] SliceModeler v1.3 released!

      Perfect! Just what I was looking for (confirmation that my model is not up to snuff, and redirection to a few more up-to-date plug-ins). Thanks!

    • RE: [Plugin] SliceModeler v1.3 released!

      I know this is rather old but I am hoping to get some help/advice on a model of a sink I am building on a lasercutter. For some reason (I'm pretty certain its a problem with my model, not this plugin) the plug-in seems to sort of take some shortcuts when slicing (hopefully the pictures will explain it well). Any thoughts? Thank!

    • RE: Sketchup Model Slow - Flashes, Freezes

      Thanks for the reply Thomas.

      I attached a screenshot - I have a theory that it has to do with the images. I removed some (as you can see 2 are remaining at this particular save) and it seems to help. But I have very little knowledge about the nuts and bolts, so perhaps it is something totally different. Removing the images and changing them to textures has made the model manageable at least. The missing line on the Model Info box reads Styles - 3.

      Unfortunately I'm not able to upload the model to a public thread such as this one, I'm sure that would be the most helpful thing to do.

      My machine has a NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 - as far as Hardware Acceleration, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to that (I would love to know more, just haven't taken the time to learn). I attached a screen shot of that as well, but I suspect it may not be useful.

      Not to be a complete suck-up, but also just wanted to mention how much help your countless answers to others queries have been over the years (and your plug ins of course). Thanks!

    • Sketchup Model Slow - Flashes, Freezes

      I have a sketchup model (imported from Revit) that is 7,800 kb in size - much smaller than other models we use. For some reason this one is infuratingly slow (changing between scenes, manipulating geometry, opening closing components, everything). Additionally, at random points it will freeze up and cause the spinning wheel but never splat. From there about every 10-30 seconds the SU window will disapear and then re-appear. I have purged and cleaned the model - any ideas?
