      Probably not, at least not for a very long time.

            Thank you SO much for this plugin! Being able to quickly create and render section perspectives is an architecture student's dream!

              Just discovered this plugin through the Maxwell Render forum, but have been having similar issues as others: bug splats every time, even after exploding and removing a lot of the geometry. Anybody found a work-around for this? My model was rather complex, groups inside of components inside of components inside of components, but I've reduced significantly. Even copying geometry and pasting into new file does nothing.

                I think one suggestion was to make sure your section cut is not inside a group or component.

                  I've exploded the entire model (a copy of the original). There are now no groups or components. Same result.

                  EDIT: The weird thing is that when I tell it to slice using the section, at the bottom it says "Cutting Group #2...", but there are no groups listed if I go into my Model Options. It gets stuck there and then crashes.

                      you will all love me for this one.

                      In order to CUT a section within a model, YOU DO NOT need to section plane and explode and delete etc!

                      ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is put it in PARALLEL projection and set the camera where you need the section to be.

                      Voila, section (obviously doesnt work for perspectives, but for elevations of architectural drawings this is an amazingly fast and easy fix.

                          I don't understand the steps, because once activating zorro, it asks for a line to be drawn?

                            Please read the PDF tutorial found on the first page.

                              I would like to download zorro 2 but my computer doesn't read the .rb extension. Do you have some instructions on how to install it.

                                No need to read anything. Simply download the .rb file at the bottom of the first post and put it in your Sketchup's plugin folder (C-->programs-->google etc.). You will find Zorro under Tools menu.
                                However if you want to read a .rb file use, for example, NotePad.

                                  I'm doing it just as the tutorial says
                                  first "add section cut face"
                                  and the "slice model at section"
                                  but even though my model doesn't have any groups, when it is cutting "group #n (29 or 31 most of the times)" the sketch up crashes 😞
                                  i've got a deadline in college, really need this to work out!
                                  anyone can help?
                                  thanks!

                                    is there any way (tips/tricks or other cut tool) that only cuts the front faces, and not back (and not visiable) faces? I strongly need that πŸ˜„ plz

                                      After a few hours I figure it out how to fix the bug splat, I have a heavy model, every time that I started using the slice tool my model crashed up, I tryed exploding the model, chainging to newer sketch up, etc etc etc. At the end I took all the model and grouped up whith out the cuting plane, after I slice it, and was the solution for the problem, now it doesn't matter how heavy is the file, the plug in ,work fine. sorry for my bad english, I hope is useful for you.

                                      I had the same issue, did the same thing like you did, making one big group and the problem was solved πŸ˜„

                                            This forum came up when I was searching about bug splats related to exploding components. I found a solution to the bug splats I was getting with my own plugin and maybe it will help diagnose the problems people are having on this forum.

                                            Assume the following component structure:

                                            Component_A

                                            Component_AA
                                            Component_AB
                                            Component_AC

                                            I was exploding from the top down with a recursive function, so I would explode Component_A, using ComponentInstance.explode which returns an entities object containing what was the component before I exploded it. I would then loop through that entities object and continue exploding any component instances I found. When I'd try and explode the first child (Component_AA) I would bug splat.
                                            I found that it had to do with an entities observer that I had at the model level (which was my only entities observer). Once I got rid of the observer my code started working fine; no more bug splats!

                                            So maybe Zorro2 or some other plugin on the computer of people who are experiencing bug splats is using an Entities Observer.
                                            Hopefully this helps someone out there and hopefully this was the right place to post this.
