      [It's about visual sections, not booleans]

      ...Again, I throw here an idea that I have since a long time, not knowing if there is a way to make anything about it with a Ruby script, but it's worth a try...

      Sketchup owns a really useful (and finally rather original) section tool.

      The thing is that it is always a bit too radical (basically it's an infinite plan). So, to reduce the effect, or have a more precise cut, it's necessary to combine it with groups, but that's not so easy to do cleanly with huge or complex models.

      What I'm looking for here is something that will be able to change the way the sections are handle, in order to have, mainly, a kind of Section Box, that could look like that :

      Section Box.jpg Or SectionBox_2.jpg

      So, any chance...?

        Maybe it can be controlled by an extruded line as well. In Revit they have section cuts that can be controlled by a single line that can bend at certain areas. Wish Sketchup can do something like that as well 😄.
