Yet another weird topological problem. As many of you know I am battling with my complex roof module right now and so far it is proving more difficult than I would like to admit. I have the plugin creating the roof primitive 99% of the time but in a few cases I end up with an extra edge or two tha…

This seems to work quite well: if e.line[1].parallel?(Z_AXIS) e.erase! puts 'vertical redundant edge removed' end Its not a general solution but it does remove all of the vertical edges, which in this particular case is exactly what I need. At some point though I may need the completely general…

Turns out the solution wasn’t too hard to devise: def check_redundant_edges edge_list = @group1.entities.grep(Sketchup::Edge) edge_list.each do |e| next unless e.valid? next if e.line[1][2].round(5) == 0.0 next if e.start.position[2] == @Fasciaz || e.end.position[2] == @Fasciaz if e…

EDIT … Please see this other thread using plane / vertex comparison … How to make a selected face be truly flat Would something like this also work ? # Erase redundant edges in an entities context. A face is redundant if it is # used by more than 1 face and all it's faces have parallel normal v…

What is this ‘context’ that you are putting in front of the start and commit operation methods, how does that work? I’ve never seen that before.

‘context’ can be any entities context:- choose from… model.entities model.active_entities group.entities definition.entities

[image] medeek: What is this ‘context’ that you are putting in front of the start and commit operation methods, how does that work? What I actually did was renamed the @group1 reference in your code snippet to context but one step UP from what TIG described. Perhaps it should be named object …

Comparing normals of faces is not sufficient to determine if you can erase the edges between them. This is due to tolerances when you get small faces or slither faces etc. Instead take the plane of one of the faces and see if the vertices of the other faces lies on that same plane. This is now Sket…

Which we’ve been discussing in this other thread the past few days … How to make a selected face be truly flat

When I do the boolean subtraction to cut out the various roof planes occasionally I get these extra edges (that are redundant). It seems to be unpredictable or somewhat random, sometimes they appear and sometimes they don’t, I’m not entirely sure why this behavior exists: [truss_su573_800] My pr…
