      Can't Choose Materials...
      [attachment=0:26db8ugb]<!-- ia0 -->webqq_app.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:26db8ugb]

      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.

      thank u replied

      i use SU8Pro

      i can see the demo's section, but can't use it

      and ur plugin can't work with thearender4su plugin

      What do you mean with 'can't use it'?
      What do you mean with 'can't work with thearender4su plugin'?

      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)

                    please give me some feedback why it's not working? It should work a SketchUp 8 english.

                      Can you send me the model?

                      It was just a box...
                      It didn't work on your example model either (if I tried to make a new section)
                      I would try later at my home computer (SketchUp Pro)

                      Now, after looking at the video I did notice something diferent... when I make a section my model shows up hallow inside (before and after I pressed "Make realSection" )

                      http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/2551/sectionf.jpg

                      do I need to change some type of option in sketchup?

                      thanks!

                        Any chance you could actually tell us what you are doing in the video. It's difficult to read the menu items and so on due to the compression of the video.

                        I'm trying to follow your PDF instructions. When I choose Make realSection, I can give the section a name but there's no new layer created as stated in the instructions. I think there are enough folks having difficulty getting this to work that there must be a defect that needs to be fixed.

                          what's in the video:

                          make a solid
                          right click at select 'Define realSection material'
                          cancel the define realSection material
                          create a new SU material named '_newmaterial'
                          right click at select 'define realSection material'
                          select the new created material 'newmaterial'
                          define a sectionplane
                          right click selectionplane and select 'Make realSection'

                          realSection is created

                          select solid again and define an other material
                          show sectionplanes
                          select sectionplane
                          right click and select 'Update realSection'

                          realSection is updated

                          edit solid
                          show sectionplanes
                          select sectionplane
                          right click and select 'Update realSection

                          realSection is updated

                            If I know what's going wrong then I can fix it. Can you open your ruby console when you are trying to run realSection and give me the errors that show up.

                                    There was a small problem with version 0.3. This is now solved in realSection v0.4. I hope you will still enjoy realSection!
                                    I tested it on SU7 en SU8 and it should work on both version without a problem.

                                      Is the problem because the plugin relies on Windows-specific libraries (Win32API.so) which are incompatible with Mac OS?

                                      Hi

                                        No plugin check if it's a PC or a MAC. But the problem should be fixed.

                                          That seems to work now although, curiously, the faces don't align accurately with the section cut. See the attached model and zoom in close to the corners. And it seems the materials must already be defined in the model before starting to create the realSections. Is that right? I added the material called _Blue after creating the realSections. The name shows up in the list for defining materials but after selecting it for one group and updating the realSections the face disappeared. When I set it back to the brownish color, the face was recreated.

                                            That the section faces don't align is normal, because i place the faces a little before and a little behind the sectionplane. But because you work in other units the gap is to big. I try to solve the unit problem asap.
