Object Tags AutoClean for Cinema 4D removes unnecessary selection and material tags from polygon objects.

The plugin cleans such objects itself while the button is enabled, and upon request: Shift+click and Ctrl+click on the button clear the selected objects.

What does

Object Tags AutoClean for Cinema 4D removes unnecessary selection and material tags from polygon objects. After Split, Polygon Island to Objects or conversion of Extrude, Sweep, Loft and Lathe, garbage remains on the new object: empty selections, materials linked to other selections, duplicates of the same material.

The plugin cleans such objects itself while the button is enabled, and upon request: Shift+click and Ctrl+click on the button clear the selected objects.

Button

One button operates in three modes depending on the key pressed.

For Shift and Ctrl, select objects in the object manager. If nothing is selected, a hint will appear in the status bar. The total (how many tags were deleted) is written to the console and to the status bar. Any cleaning is rolled back by Ctrl+Z.

Automatic cleaning
While the button is pressed, the plugin monitors the scene and processes only new polygon objects.

When the plugin is disabled, objects are not processed. After turning it on, it does not touch what appeared during the pause, but only works with new objects.

Cleaning Rules General rules apply for Split, Island to Objects, Shift+click and Ctrl+click:

  1. Duplicates of material. Multiple Material tags with the same material are merged into one tag with one combined selection. The settings of the remaining tag are saved. If among the duplicates there is a tag without limitation, only that remains.

  2. Empty selections. Selection tags for polygons, edges, and points without selected elements are removed.

  3. Material with lost release. The material tag attached to the non-existent selection is removed.

  4. Selecting the entire geometry. If the selection covers all polygons, the material constraint is released and the selection tag is removed. The material remains throughout the entire object. Material tags without selection restrictions are not affected. Only Ctrl+click adds a fifth rule: polygon selections that are not referenced by any material, and all selections of edges and points are deleted.
