Remove Unused Edges in SketchUp — Cleanup Extension

To delete or hide edges, into the object, which is time consuming , Let’s use 3dshouse’s Remove Unused Edges cleanup tool to help us do it faster

Manually cleaning a model means deciding, edge by edge, whether to erase, hide, or soften each line — and in SketchUp these are three different operations, not one. The Eraser tool plain-deletes an edge (and can delete the faces it borders), holding Shift hides the edge while keeping the faces separate, and holding Ctrl (Option on macOS) softens/smooths it. Only softening merges the two adjacent faces into a single surface entity — hiding just makes the line invisible, so the surface still behaves as several faces underneath. The Remove Unused Edges tool automates the tedious case: stripping out leftover coplanar and stray segments that subdividing, intersecting, or importing leaves behind, without you having to pick the right modifier on every line.
