One of those \u201cGoogle-holes\u201d: you’re searching for something – and find nothing. So let’s fix this (and for me, it’s where I can find it again, kind of a web-clipboard).

Here’s the problem: Working with Blender, I imported a 3D scene from another program. After a few clicks, I realize that all vertices are duplicated (Collada import, and no way to change the export settings). Select, toggle edit mode, \u201cremove doubles\u201d, \"\"<\/a>\u201crecalculate normals\u201d would be a valid approach for 10 meshes. But suppose you end up with several 100s? Right, there’s Blender’s built-in Python interpreter. So fire it up an any Blender window you like using the little button on the bottom left:<\/p>\n

\u2026and paste the following into that window (you might have to add one press of the return key). The script only works on the selected meshes (and ignores non-meshes), which makes it easier for really<\/strong> huge scenes – you might want to select only a few of them to get started, because Blender will be inresponsive during the script doing its job:<\/p>\n

import bpy\nif bpy.context.selected_objects != []:\n\tfor ob in bpy.context.selected_objects:\n\t\tif ob.type == 'MESH':\n\t\t\tbpy.context.scene.objects.active = ob \n\t\t\tbpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT') \n\t\t\tbpy.ops.mesh.select_all() \n\t\t\t# remove doubles:\n\t\t\tbpy.ops.mesh.remove_doubles() \n\t\t\t# recalculate outside normals:\n\t\t\tbpy.ops.mesh.normals_make_consistent(inside=False)\n\t\t\tbpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')<\/pre>\n
