The attached file is a simplified version of a large model. It contains two faces which have same persistent id. Usually duplicate ids are fixed when doing’ Fix Problems’. We save the ids with the model or on file and rely on these to get the faces back using Ruby api. In this case, it is impossible…

[image] jnbagale: So it seems to be 2017 version issue. Well, SketchUp 2017 is no longer supported. (Trimble only supports the latest 3 versions.) Have you tried loading the problem model into the web edition and see if it fixes the duplicate ids ? If this works, this would be the only “fre…

[image] jnbagale: 1. Why is not the issue fixed with Fix Problems. Only known issues can be fixed. Those that are not known and coded for are likely unknown issues (edge cases, etc.) [image] jnbagale: 2. Is there any other way to fix the issue or workaround in ruby api to get the correct…

Note that Enumerable#find will find the first object that the block returns true for, and then stop, returning that object.(If no matches are found, it returns nil.) To get an array of multiple matches, instead use the Enumerable#find_all method. This method always returns an array, which will be …

Hi, I’m seeing ‘Fix Problems’ does fix the issue in the latest version of SketchUp (2020.2). What are you seeing that leads you to think that it isn’t? Also, how was this duplicate id situation created? Thanks.

Hi Dan, Thank you for the reply. After Bugra suggested the issue doesn’t affect 2020 version, I tried on 2018 and 2019 versions and both versions detect and fix the issue. So it seems to be a 2017 version problem. Is it a known issue on 2017 version of Sketchup? The issue is reported by one of o…

Hi Bugra, Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention on the original post. The Sketchup version is 2017 and the issue is raised by one of our plugin user and they do not want/can switch Sketchup version even if the issue is solved. Interesting to know that issue doesn’t affect Sketchup 2020. I t…

Hi Dan, Thank you for the reply. The Sketchup web doesn’t detect/fix the duplicate persistent id for Sketchup 2017 version models. The idea of deleting the face and recreate should work for that version. Many thanks for your help in this issue. Regards Jiva

Hi Dan, The face creation method works nicely. It is not working when the face has a hole inside. I tried to create from all the edges. edges.each{|edge| edge.find_faces } It creates one face with a hole correctly but also creates a second face for the hole itself. Is the main face always guara…

What about edges.first.find_faces ?

[image] DanRathbun: edges.first.find_faces That behaves same as edge.find_faces. It create a single face covering the hole. The below code leaves the correct face even for multiple holes but I wanted be sure it is a reliable method. Regards Jiva edges = f.edges ents = edges[0].parent.enti…
