Script with various options for selecting geometry. It can select triangle, quad and ngons, non-manifold edges(one edge connected to more than 2 polys), lamina(2 polys with the same vertices),concave polygons, non-planar polygons and triangles with zero length edge or zero area. At first it was going to have an option to automatically fix problems but there are too many variations of things that can go wrong. Concave and lamina selections don't work well when non-manifold geometry is present and concave also selects non-planar faces. Finally, there is a button for removing corrupt SDS which is the reason I started this to begin with. Available on the utilities page near the top.

Re: Bad Geometry Assist
This is SO handy! A very needed tool this plugin. Thanks so much.
...... Maybe there needs to be a new TS update with these new plugins and a slightly updated interface with your plugins Clinton! They are essential and it would be awesome to have them all integrated into TS with an update!

Re: Bad Geometry Assist
Very cool Clinton! I'll have to take a look at that script to see how it works!

Re: Bad Geometry Assist
Cool & thanks.
Any chance you could add a "select random" feature?

Re: Bad Geometry Assist
Hi Clinton!
Pardon the err, but I found a small bug in your script:
When selecting Quads, then Triangles, then Quads again, it does this weird error. If you select quads again, all good. But thought you'd like to know.
Select Quads
Select Tri's
Select Quads again, strange error!
.... Another error, I did freeze TS when selecting lamina polygons on some objects, but not on all.
Other than that, great! The random selections things realllly is awesome for noise and the like! Thanks! Also the selection of Ngons and other stuff, helps heaps with correcting bad geometry!

Re: Bad Geometry Assist
Selection bug fixed. The buttons are all now set to deselect before making a selection. Do you have a sample of the Lamina freezing bug?
