      TIG, is this working on SU 8? I'm getting crashes on XP without any other plugins installed.

          No dialogs open (including Outliner). I even tried disabling Dynamic Components, Sandbox Tools, Solar North, and Photo Textures.

          I'll try again tomorrow after a fresh restart. By the way, same results on SU7.

          Split at section cut seems to work. Just cut tool that crashes.

              No ruby console messages before the crash, but I realized that I wasn't using it correctly. When I used the cut tool I was picking points at the edge of a cube, and I thought I had to pick 3 to define a plane, vs. just two. So here is how I made it crash.

              • draw a rectangle and extrude to a box
              • select the Zorro tool
              • click on one of the top edges of the box
              • next click on the opposing side
              • now click on the same point as above
              • and last, click on the bottom edge on the same side of the box

              screen shot just before crash (when I click at the cursor)

              This crashes it for me. I have a screen shot of what it looks like before the click that causes the crash. There doesn't seem to be anything special about where on the edge of the box I draw my cut lines for the crash to occur. When I use to tool as intended, single cut line beyond the geometry, then everything works fine.

              By the way, what would be really cool new feature for Zorro for me is to have the "slide model at section" create separate groups out of the trimmed parts vs. throwing them away. Could have the new groups named something like "mygroupname_cut". An extra cool feature would be to create the plane at the cutting edge so the new groups are still solid. This would kind of be the anti-outer shell, allowing you to split a volume into two. Even with SketchUp Pro this would still be a useful tool. Right now I can't draw a section plane and split into two groups. I have to create a big box to use as a cutting volume, vs. a more simple cutting plane.

                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!

                Same problem here! Can anyone help?

                  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.

                  Thank You, Sir!
                  That worked for me!!

                      Like most scripts the .rb file is put into the Sketchup Plugins folder.
                      When you restart Sketchup you get a new menu item 'Zorro' - for details of where this is and how to use the tool please see the useful .pdf guide, that you can download from the same page that you got the .rb file - i.e. the first post in this thread... πŸ€“

                            a really needed plugin.......i use it a lot for 3d sections...thanks a ton

                            P.S : is it possible to but a component into two diff components without opening it i.e., cutting any component into diff parts, so that to delete the other side of the cut line i dont have to open the component and delete that part.

                            that would be an added advantage πŸ‘

                                        Does anyone know why when trying to slice an entire model at a section plane or trying to do cuts it comes out bug splat error?? Is it maybe for the complexity of the model?

                                        any solution will be very appreciated

                                        thanks

                                            I notice you both are showing older versions of SketchUp (6 and 7). In SU8, some bugs were fixed that result in less crashes for plugins like zorro2. Try upgrading to the free version of SU8 and see if you can get it to work without bugsplats.
