🧹 SketchUp Cleanup for Blender

A simple yet powerful Blender addon designed to instantly clean up messy 3D models imported from SketchUp.

🌟 The Problem

When you import models from SketchUp (usually as .dae or .skp files), they often come with a lot of extra, unnecessary data that can make your Blender scene cluttered and difficult to work with. This includes:

• Complex Parent Hierarchies: Objects are often nested under numerous "Empty" objects, creating a confusing Outliner.
• Useless Empties: The importer creates a large number of Empty objects that serve as containers but have no geometric data.
• Scattered Objects: Your imported model parts are spread across the main scene collection.
• Incorrect Pivot Points: Object origins are often not centered on the geometry, making them difficult to rotate or scale.

✨ The Solution

SketchUp Cleanup automates the entire cleaning process with a single click.

Features:

• ✂️ Clear Parents: Flattens the object hierarchy by clearing all parent-child relationships while keeping all transformations intact.
• 🗑️ Delete Empties: Selects and deletes all Empty objects in the scene, which are commonly created during SketchUp imports.
• 📍 Center Pivots: Resets the origin point for every object to its geometric center, making them easier to manipulate.
• 🗂️ Organize Scene: Moves all the cleaned objects into a new, neatly organized collection named CleanUp.
