I keep getting the following error when saving my .skp file: Results of Validity Check. *** Problems were found that could not be fixed! *** The entity at address cc582000 has an invalid id (0) destroyed (0) === What can I do and is it something to worry about?

Purge the model’s definition list, of unused component definitions: Open the Components panel, click the In Model (house) button, click the Details menu button to bring up the in model context menu, and choose the Purge Unused item. or Purge the model of unused EVERYTHING. Model Info > Statistics > Purge All

It works! (first option I tried, anyway). You’re a genius! Thanks.

[image] NewThinking2: You’re a genius! Not really. This usually comes from errors in component definitions that are downloaded from the 3D Warehouse. Never download directly into your model. Insert into a new empty model, and inspect the component for problems.

I still get the message in Sketchup 2017, like it doesn’t help tp purge unsed nor fix problems, so my model are now ruined for ever…

I’m getting this error and yes, I did download a 3DW model and that’s when the error started happening. Purging didn’t help. Tried both.

[image] ryanmack: I did download a 3DW model and that’s when the error started happening. Lesson learned ? Do not do this. Download into an empty model and examine the model for errors before ever inserting into your own models. Hopefully you can fix this by deleting the instance of the 3DW model (it is inserted as a component.) Then purge all. If this doesn’t work, turn on all hidden geometry (View > Hidden Geometry), show all layers, and then Edit > Select All, and paste into a new empty model in a separate instance of SketchUp (Windows) or a new document frame (Mac editions.)

This [skecthup] Purging did not solve the problem. I have not downloaded any new components from warehouse recently or had any problem of this sort before. how do I track down that entity to identify which component is giving the problems?

One option might be to use Solid Inspector 2 to analyze the model. Generally solid groups and components won’t create validity errors. They are also easier to work with when you need to make changes.
