        I am new to this forum and seem to be experiencing a Sketchup crash every time I try to use section cut face. I am using Sketchup Pro 8 on a MacBook Pro i7 2.0 GHz with 8 MB RAM. I am not sure what the problem is. Has anyone else experience this?

                SUFractal has reported a clash/crash with SectionCutFace [and some other scripts] if BIMtools is installed - we suspect that new tool might be inadvertently messing with native class/methods used correctly by other scripts, OR it has faulty observers that are messing with things like group creation...
                Do any of you experiencing problems have BIMtools installed ?
                If so, try disabling it and retry/report back...

                  How does one do that? Sorry, I am totally new and have no idea what that means. I appreciate your help.

                    Well... first have you [recently] installed BIMtools?
                    If not don't worry.
                    BUT if you did, then find the file you installed in Plugins - look inside the original 'zip' file to see what these were. There should be 'bim-tools.rb' and its folder of other files that it uses.
                    So disabling 'bim-tools.rb' in Plugins will stop it auto-loading.
                    You can either move that file out of the Plugins folder temporarily so Sketchup doesn't then find it when starting, so it is not auto-loaded; OR you could leave it where it is and rename it 'bim-tools.rb!' - only file-types '.rb' and '.rbs' are auto-loaded.

                    If you restart and try SectionCutFace now does it work...
                    If so we have the culprit...

                    If you want to restore a disabled tool later on, then either move its file[s] back into Plugins, or if you have adopted the other approach, rename the file[s] back as 'xxx.rb' etc...

                      I don't recall having installed anything like that and a spotlight search reveals no files with such name. I've checked my SU folder as well and there doesn't seem to be any such script. Thoughts?

                        Post a detailed screenshot of your Plugins folder showing what is installed.
                        Also post the full path to the folder...

                          Folks ... the correct name of the troublesome script is 'SketchUpBIM'.

                              Could my problem have to do with using Podium for Sketchup? When I try using Zorro to cut my model it also crashes immediately.

                                You have very few scripts auto-loading from Plugins...
                                You could try disabling both Zorro and Podium temporarily - add a ! onto the end of the file extension to prevent it auto-loading on a restart of Sketchup.
                                Later on you can remove it back to .rb/.rbs as appropriate, so it enabled again.
                                It's strange that you and a few more now and again have issues as it's been around for ages without problems...

                                Open Window > Ruby Console when running the SectionCutFace and see if there are any error messages when it fails.

                                Also in the Console type $LOAD_PATH [exactly as here] and there should be a list of the folders Plugins [for 'your' scripts] and Tools [for Google's scripts]; are there any other folders listed there that contain .rb/.rbs files ?

                                Can you post the SKP that has the issue so we can text it.

                                Can you also ZIP the actual script [.rb] and PM it to me so I can check it hasn't somehow become corrupted during your install... by ZIPping it it'll preserve its contents best...

                                  why is sketchup closing when I use the section cut face ?? does anyone experience the same issue ? I used to work with this great plugin, I reinstalled sketchup ( same version as before, 8.0.3161 ) and now it doesn't work anymore...

                                  I work with OS X 10.6

                                    No known issues like this πŸ˜•

                                    Have you tried disabling recently installed scripts to see if they are messing with some base class/methods used by this tool - e.g. some scripts have malfunctioning observers, or even ill-advisedly mess with Sketchup 'group.copy' methods etc and can cause such issues...
                                    ❓

                                      Hi. First of all, thank you! I've always used this plugin, and it's just wonderful!
                                      Since last update, though, everytime i try to use it my SketchUp crashes.
                                      I don't know what to do...
                                      Any suggestions?

                                      Thanks!
