The objects aren't in groups unfortunately.

I've decided to write a matlab script to identify the objects automatically in the VRML. I'll still need to simplify it though, as unfortunately this file is formatted to include every point (no curves/cylinders, just lots of fine grained vertexes).

Thanks anyway!

Hi there,

I'm new to skecthup and I'm trying to import and simplify a VRML file generated by G4Beamline (It's a particle accelerator physics tool.) I have converted the file to a 3ds and when I import into sketchup, I noticed that the file is quite large because many of the same objects (magnets) are repeated as separate instances.

I was wondering if there was an easy way to identify all of the objects that are identical and make them the same instance.

Also, is there a script which can crop redundant polygons?

Cheers!
