      Hi,
      Can't wait to try it out, looks amazing (and useful !) 🎉

      Only works with SU8, right ? (because it applies to solids only)

        It's very useful. We use it already for about 6 months at our office.

          Looks great, I just came across a big project where I need this starting at the beginning of the year. I'll be checking this one out soon, thanks!

            Didier, it should work also on v7. I don't use any of the solid functions. But i didn't test it on v7.

                OK, history first. I have just installed Windows 7 professional from Vista Home Premium. I had to do a complete install as one can not go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional by the upgrade route.

                Now to today. I installed the plugin realSectionV0.3, just to see what it would do. I decided to remove the program. And here where I have the problem. I have removed all the files that were in the zip file, however, when I open Sketchup, and do a context menu selection, I still have, although greyed out, the menu option of define RealSection material. I cannot find where this program is being installed from. I have restarted the computer, searched the plugin directory and no luck.

                So what is happening? I am new to Windows 7. So any help would be appreciated. Another question, has anyone else trying uninstalling this plugin.

                Thank you in advance for any help or direction.

                    Did you use the demo file?
                    The name of the materials that you will use for the section need to start with '_' like '_concrete'
                    The materials are the standard SketchUp materials that are active in the model.

                    I see you work with SU 7, at this moment realSection won't work with v7. I hope I can fix the problem with SU 7 very soon.

                      A registry key left by the script ? GWydouw, any hint ?

                        Do you have the Windows UAC enabled, or run as a User?
                        When you have the plugins folder open in Explorer, do you see a Compatibility Files button in your toolbar? It's possible some files have ended up there.

                          Well, thomthom, that was it. The compatibility folder had the files stored there. When I removed these files, the plugin is gone. And of course the compatibility folder does not show up in the regular Windows Explorer view.

                          It was my understanding that the "compatibility" of Windows 7 was for program installation. It never dream on me it would hide extracted zip files.

                          However, that explains to me why extracting the files did not seem to work. I couldn't find the files after the first extraction, but the during the second extraction, the process ask if it could write over the files. To get the files showing up in the plugin folder, I had to copy the files. So Windows 7 was giving me a hint, but I just didn't understand what was happening.

                          Hope, this helps other.

                          thomthom, again thank you.

                                  Perhaps thearender4su plugin is not the reason
                                  sometimes " Define real.... ", it's grey, "can't work", i mean it
                                  sometimes " define real..." is grey, sometimes isn't, it's joking me?

                                  but i don't know, how to make section plug worked , i mean show the materials on the section.

                                      I can't seem to get it to work right myself with the materials. Do you have to type in the name of the material that you want to use? A demo video would help to enjoy this plugin a whole lot more since I have been needing such a plugin for a while now! Thanks anyway, I guess I will figure it out one day?

                                        hello,

                                        I'm trying to test this great plugin, but I'm having some dificulties:

                                        1- I created a group (a simple solid object)
                                        2- Then I created a texture that started with "_"
                                        3- I assigned the material to the object using "Define realSection material"
                                        4- I created a section plane
                                        5- pressed "Make realSection" and gave it a name

                                        but nothing happens... and no new layers are created?!

                                        I'm using SketchUp 8 (free) on a windows machine (XP)

                                          I'm using SketchUp 8 (free) on a windows machine (XP)

                                          Can you send me the model?
