    For some reason I'm not getting the faces of the section. The section cuts, it adds the projection but no faces.

    (mac) same for me, it apears only after manual update

      For SU 8 and Mac, you need the last test version. It will become the next official version.

      You can switch off logging in the settings.
      Still problems?

          Can you send me the log file after ...

          • In a NEW model.... (Not opening an existing model)
          • create a closed box
          • group it
          • select the tool 'RichSection creation' ( the most left on the RichSection toolbox)
          • create a section through the unique group (important : wait until the plugin has finished : see ruby console)
          • copy and post the log file (when opening Sketchup, a panel tells you where the log file will be created )
            Thanks

            actually that did produce a face with a material in the section.

            is a "solid" required for sectioning?

            here's the log file.

              As explained in the first post :
              Elements don't have to be solid, but only closed sections will generate section-materials.
              ( and solids alwys produce closed sections)

                      In your rs settings, section was off (the first item on the list). Also, some of the groups/components in your model were non solid.

                      From my experience, rs works better with solids. I use tt's solid inspector a lot. RS works well with nested solids, and even with multi mesh solids (something native su solid tools has problems with).

                      Things to avoid:
                      Ungrouped geometry.
                      Dividing lines on coplanar faces, except when they are used to separate different materials.

                        Thanks for the help Santiago, I did have "Yes" selected when I created the section. as for the solids and such no.

                          Hi Piet,

                          Some screenshots of the dialog boxes, win vs. mac. I´ve highlighted in red the clipped text. I tried shortening some of those lines, but the dialog would resize, and clip other text. It also happens in the english translation...

                          Config

                          Settings

                          Legend

                          del

                              Hi Piet,

                              Three small things.

                              Can default settings be saved, at least per session? I´m creating several rs on a model, I´m changing some of the settings from the default (rs profile lines to yes, so I can snap to the rs in layout, and projections to off) I have to do this every time I create an rs. Seems simple, but if I forget, and leave projections on, it takes forever to create an rs.

                              It would be great to have esc abort the rs creation/update. Right now, the only way I´ve found is to either leave rs running, or force quit sketchup....

                              In the settings dialog, move RSName to the top... Right now it is not easily found, down at the bottom.

                              Cheers,

                              Santiago

                                Hi Santiago

                                • about settings saved: i planned to propose the last used settings in creation, except name, section on/off and projection on/off, but i can limit the exception to the name...
                                • escape : very usefull (was planned), but more difficult : Have to rewrite a lot. Will have to find the time.
                                • name on the top : ok
                                  Thanks for the suggestions

                                          It must be a MAC related problem, you are both running on MAC ?
                                          Any other Mac users with problems ❓ ❓ ❓ ❓ ❓

                                          I have no explanation. For me it works on SU8 and SU2013. But i can't test it on mac.
                                          Can you test the following : disable all the other plugins ❓

                                          If this doesn't help, can you test the following file : replace PiGa_RichSection.rb (in directory ..SketchUp..\Plugins) by the file below, and tell me if it works ❓

                                          Thanks in advance.
