The 3D models, we download from the Internet usually have a lot of extra geometry, which adds to the extra burden on our stage. We can see how many lines the object is built when we enable the Hidden Geometry option by Clean Up extension. Some of them are usually not required for the model to appear appropriately, but only add to the size of the file we are working on.

CleanUp is a fantastic plugin that comes in handy while we are importing data. Extra has hidden geometry around in 3d models, only adding to the model’s complexity and making it hard to render. We may want to clean our model with this plugin by removing all those unnecessary segments, hidden geometry, and duplicate faces.

The first step is to download the plugin first. We can do it directly from within Sketchup by entering Window Extension Warehouse or by downloading it from the Extension websites.
