Script for removing duplicate geometry?

[jujubee]

Sometimes I get a model and there may be a wall or column. I go to texture it only to find out there's an identical copy in the same location. It's happened more than once with my modeler.

So is there a script or tool that can detect this and automatically remove duplicate geometry in the same location?

Colin Senner (MoonDoggie) has a script for dealing with that, you can give it a go:

Eh not working latest Max.

If you're in the latest max doesnt it have tools to do this built in? Remember watching some feature videos about overlapping/bad geometry.

Yeah but that's for single geometry I believe - if you have one item with overlapping faces. I could be wrong.

It doesn't take into account a whole scene with a bunch of separate geometry that all lies in the same location.
