    Hello, I'm looking for plugins which is about removing invisible area as shown in the attached picture. In the view of the vertex of the cone, the parts of the cone shape which has passed through the hexahedron is invisible coverage and It can be removed to represent visible coverage only. The three cone shapes are manually made by hand. I would like to make the process automatically by clicking a kind of icon. Can you please give me related plugins or ideas for creating the tool?

      You don't really need a dedicated plugin for this - solid tools and joint push pull's follow extrusion will do you fine (and the follow extrusion is a little overkill, honestly, it can be done with vanilla sketchup just fine)

      edit: excuse the buggy gif, at least it's still decipherable I suppose
