      it could assign diffferent materials to different grounps,maybe it could give some useful ideas...

      Hallo ladcwei

      You can also assign different materials in the RichSection plugin: by layer, by nature (color) or a combination.
      It's much faster than assigning materials to individual elements, but you will have to organize your model and use different layers to assign different section-materials.

      I know realSection (GWD), there is also SectionCutface (TIG), and other good plugins.
      Each plugin is different. I wanted to offer projection.
      [highlight=#ffff40:y89ppu1f]So what were you waiting for during 5 years ? ❓ ❓[/highlight:y89ppu1f]

      Thanks for the interest.

        I added two new videos.
        In the last video, I produced a plan with [highlight=#ffff00:3n6bzrcv]SKETCHUP + RichSection + LAYOUT[/highlight:3n6bzrcv]:

        See video and attached PDF file (RichSection-demo-04.PDF) in the first post.

          Absolutly astonishing! 😎
          (tested in V8)

          Another plugin who makes bugsplatsh :wxSU.rb !!!

          Does it posible to delete these dotted lines in the free space ?
          ( i have not yet explore the plugin! 😳

          Ps Why you don't say on the first post that the UI of Rich Section is working automatically also in French? ☀

            %(#0000FF)[Bonjour Pilou. Quel honneur ❗

            Pour enlever ces lignes, il suffit d'éteindre 'PROJECTION'. (La section calculera aussi beaucoup plus vite).
            Dans les dessins technique (architecture), la projection représente les éléments au-dessus du plan de projection.
            On peut aussi limiter la projection (par distance, calques). Une démonstration (distance de projection limitée) est faite dans video #03.

            Je vais ajouter : Si la version de SU est française, elle chargera RichSection en français..]

            For the rest of the world:

            To take away those pointed lines, just switch off 'PROJECT'. (The section will also calculate faster).
            In technical drawings (architecture), 'projection' represents the elements above the section-plane.
            You can also controle wich elements are projected (by distance, layers). This is demonstrated (with projection limited by distance) in video #03.

            For people with a french SU, the program will load a french RichSection dictionary.
            For the rest of the world: are there traductors on this forum?

              For more important (big, complex) drawings. It is worth to use SU 2013. MUCH MUCH faster ❗ ❗ ❗

                      Thank you. I've just completed a more than usually complex drawing that required cross sections. I use RichSection to great effect. I really like all the additional optional colours, line types & infills.

                          YES 😄 the 2nd video is showing that 😄
                          Use RichSection materials 'by layer' or 'by nature' or a combination.
                          Every RichSection can also have different section materials, by using a different 'prefix'
                          😄

                          Hey there..

                          I've managed to figure out how to create different hatch patterns for objects on different layers, but I can't seem to create different hatch patterns for objects with different materials. It always goes back to the default pattern?

                          Also, I don't quite understand the options for the richsection material - what is the difference between "prefix+layername, prefix+materialname, default" and "prefix+materialname, prefix+layername, default"?

                          As I mentioned, I just can't seem to get material names to work in defining different hatch patterns...please help!

                          Thanks...

                              Hi Joel

                              Supposing

                              • Model : you used layers L1 and L2

                              • Model : you applied the following materials to groups and components : N1 and N2
                                First possibility :

                              • Model : existing materials in library 'in model' : #L1.... / NOT existing materials : #L2

                              • RS-options : prefix = #

                              • RS-options : default material = #default

                              • RS-options : section material = prefix+layername, default

                              • RS section materials for a group or component in layer L1 : #L1

                              • RS section materials for a group or component in layer L2 : #default (because #L2 doesn't exist)
                                2nd possibility :

                              • Model : existing materials in library 'in model' : #N1.... / NOT existing materials : #N2

                              • RS-options : prefix = #

                              • RS-options : default material = #default

                              • RS-options : section material = prefix+materialname, default

                              • RS section materials for a group or component with material N1 assignd: #N1

                              • RS section materials for a group or component with material N2 assignd: #default (because #N2 doesn't exist)

                              Got it ❓ 😄

                                It seems to be a very complex model ❗ ❗ ❗
                                What kind of building is it ? With a giant bell at the center ?
                                Maybee the bell needs some thickness. You can do this with the Joint PushPull plugin from Fredo.

                                Thanks for sharing your experiance.

                                  Cant get it to work like in the videos....it just works as sketchup native section cut, also sketchup crashed a few times (bugsplat)....but i love the intention. It would save me the time to go put in hatches in my layout documents

                                    Yes,it's a temple for new year,it attracts much people to ring the bell on the three floors,it is supposed to be a kind of memorial tower.

                                    However,in some complex models,the plugin could give section lines but never fill the hole,I don't know is there some problem has not been solved? It seems to work right.

                                      Missing faces also happens with 🤓 TIG's Section Cut Face. He has done a lot of checks on it but there can still be situations in a model where a face can be missing without reason. 😕

                                        Hallo,
                                        To know what is going on first exclude this :

                                        • ...as native Sketchup : Did you used groups or components ?
                                        • Did you activate the plugin? (Menu Windows/preferences >> extensions). Is there RichSection-panel and a RichSection menu ?
                                        • Open de Ruby console (open the 'Windows' menu, and then click 'Ruby Console'): do you have any errors here while placing RIchSection cuts?
                                        • Bug Splat : What other plugins are installed? There can be incompatibility : see first post. Unactivate all other plugins, restart SU and test again the RichSection plugin. This should work !

                                        I see you have SU 8 installed. I suggest to install SU2013 make (you can keep SU8). It faster and much more stable.
                                        Then install (first and only) the RichSection plugin. It should work ! If it is the case, instal the other plugins, and test after each installation.

                                        Please tell me if you got it working 😄

                                          Beautifull and complex models ❗

                                          RichSection and also TIG's plugin use a method of the Ruby Sketchup-API (entities.intersect_with). ❗ Indeed ArCAD-UK ❗ This method handels the Intersection and automatically creates faces with speed. My experience is that the method can't handel very small faces Sometimes you can avoid this limit by scaling the model (x100 ... x1000).

                                            My missing faces were in repeated components and should have formed a 50 x 100mm face in a rectangular box, so size wasn't the issue. The final solution in that case was to delete the failing group and create a fresh box. TIG spent time updating his plug using some of my models but I can still get face errors with abutting groups for no obvious reason. If you and TIG are both seeing this then you may need to get Trimble to look at the API.
