      hey Whaat, any thought on the matter? Thanks

      Yes, your scene scale is too big. I won't get into the details, but the plugin will fail if you are using a huge scene scale. Your scene is about 10km across!

        yup, it was supposed to be a sci-fi city.

        well, so you suggest that I scale down it. Haha, I cant even begin to understand whats the difference, to the PLUGIN, on the scale of the scene. Thanks for the help!

          hey thanx for this, really speeds up the process of making a roof with hard modeled roof tiles the only suggestion i could make is that it explodes and groups everything it cuts through (at least in the case of similar components), because at present it is making separate unique components out of the indidual components it cuts through, increaseing the amount of components intances dramatically, and slowing down the drawing.

          i then have to go in select all similar components, invert selection, group those, explode this groups contents and purge unused components, to get my component instances from 400 back to 1.

          any thoughts

            AWESOME PLUGIN. Especially when used with section cut plane...

            Before I would have to explode all geometry and create a plane... then intersect with model, then erase everything I didn't need. On complex models this would take too long so I gave up. Now it took a minute at most on that same model.

            Thank you!

                Hi, I'm trying to do a section through a simple box just to test but every time I right click, then slice section plane it results in a bug splat. The model could not be more simple so I'm confused as to why it isn't working. Do I need to download another ruby?? I'm currently using SU7 pro

                  Please post the model. Thanks.

                    Hi, I think I worked out why it wasnt working. I had a 3ds component (toilet- high poly) in the box shape. Although the section plane wasn't through the component I don't think sketchup could cope with both the component and the procedure of taking a section. Is this normal for the ruby to make sketchup crash when using components? I guess in future projects I'll just take the section first then add components afterwards.

                    Thanks

                    Jim

                      hi there all, bit of a lurker on the forum

                      But I have to shout major kudos to whaat! You have just saved me mucha mulah! I was thinking about selling my car or something to purchase IRenderXT just to be able to render cut-away views eg 3d plans. As someone said earlier, too much hassel to creat cut sections and then delete what I don't need to take things into Kerkythea. Now hey it is simple as, well I don't think it gets much simpler

                      One thing though, I can get the section cut through model part working - the major bonus for me. But I literally only get a zoro entry in the tools drop down. According to your screen shots there seem to be some submenus and such, but none of that here. XP SP3 SketchUP 7 free. (Since discovering DoubleCAD I no longer need the pro file exports to go to CAD)

                      Anyway, a million thanks for something this useful and powerful

                        I'm confused. I don't think I have posted any screenshots of the menu. There should only be one menu item in the Tools menu. Glad you like the plugin!

                            I'm having similar problems as Jim_Tim.

                            I explode everything, and get a bug splat and SU shutdown when trying to slice at a section. Should this work? Any tricks to know?

                              Hi. As previously mentioned I have had trouble with bug splats when using Zorro2. I have experimented with various simple models and as I suggested on a previous post (at least on my system) sketchup has problems when using Zorro and dealing with components. A friend and fellow student has also had similar problems with his models and shared his models with me to see if our different systems made any difference. I have attached one of the models that he created and we have both tried to take section slices always resulting with 'bug splats'. I also tried to remove every component in the outliner to see if that would work but had no joy.

                              If anybody could work out why this is happening in this model I would be extremely grateful. Hopefully a diagnosis would account for the problems i've been having with other models.

                              Thank you.

                                Make sure the Outliner is closed. Making scripted changes to groups/instances with the Outliner open can give a BugSplat...

                                  what is the outliner? 😳

                                  Ive had bug splats even after exploding all components and groups into faces.

                                  basically it were lots of window panes, around a building of circular size. The roof of the building was inclined, so I needed to cut all the windows so they would fit against the inclined roof.

                                  Some of the windows would cut nice. But then, a FEW OF THEM, for no aparent reason, would give bug splats, even if I moved them, copied them and tried to cut somewhere else, if I rotated them, etc.

                                  I ended up cutting them using tools on surface... but needless to say, it took a much longer time. Zorro was the perfect tool for the job, if there were no bug splats. 😐

                                      well, certainly I dont need to close it, since i NEVER opened it! 😆

                                        Thanks for the replies, but i'm afraid the outliner is not the problem. I only opened the outliner in the first place because i was getting bug splats. I used the outliner as a quick way to get rid of things i thought might be slowing the model down or causing bug splats. I'd be grateful if anybody could try to resolve the problem in the model i attached earlier in the thread. I think zorro2 could be an amazing tool but i just keep getting bug splats constantly 👎

                                          Are you getting the bugsplat just with Zorro2 or with other rubies also?

                                            Dale I noticed I always have to reverse section cut before "slice model at section".
                                            May be alternatively you could "inverse" this tool?
