Extremely small pipes with 30 sided segments, then 24 divisions on a straight pipe. Also lots of twisted polygones that will give errors in renders.

So, here's only a small section fixed, from 18 500 to 7435 polygone. and i could remove another 1500 polygone easily but time is short today.

I think that when people say" OH..i'll clean it after" is a bit bogus answer, not offense Ralph, but what's the point of modeling like that!?...
While this topic is going on, and I feel that we have these discussions a lot on a few different boards... Can you post some wires of the before and after the clean up (with GP's permission, of course)? I know this is one of the areas I'd really like to brush up on and I think seeing the wires might help many of us get a better idea of clean / optimized models.
