      Working just fine, same model in 2016.
      Will see if I have the latest SU2017 installed.

        Nothing to report, sporadic crashes in 2017 Mac with certain models, solid in 2015 and 2016 with same model.

          Hi TIG,

          Great plugin, but I have a question. I'm trying to couple sectioncutface with the keyframe animation plugin, essentially to animate a section cut in perspective through a building model, except by animating the building to move through the section plane, keeping the plane and camera in the same spot. Is it possible to have sectioncutface update real-time as the animation is played?

            TIG -

            When I create a scene with the SCF plugin the layer I have added the section to is now on in the current scene as well as the new scene... is this a bug or a feature? I would expect that the current scene would not be affected by anything happening when I choose 'New Scene'

            I'm also getting bug splats every couple of times I run the plugin. I have sent off the bug slats, not sure where I can access them to show you what is going on.

            Last bugs plat submitted was Crash Report #7925

                    OK - I think I have isolated the issue, am testing now.

                    If I run the plugin to create a new scene from a scene that uses a style where 'Section Planes' has not been updated or refreshed - SU crashes.

                    Done this twice now in a row. Will test more.

                    If I run the plugin in a scene with a style that I have not altered (like turned the section planes on so I can see them, to create the new cut) - then it works consistently.

                      A guaranteed way to Splat is to Remake Section when you section is hiding all content.

                        OK - This appears to be the case - if any change is made to the style of the current scene (like turn section planes on or off) - if you don't refresh the style when SectionCutFace tries to make a new scene it crashes.

                        I have tested this by altering edges, not refreshing and getting a crash, as well as only toggling the Section Plane on and off (for visibility) - and it crashes if I do not update the style before running the plugin.

                            Having other posts at SketchUp.com is confusing - although their team's comments on your BugSplats might be helpful...

                            Can you provide a simple model with Styles etc that shows this behavior...
                            ZIP it and PM if you don't want it 'public'...
                            If it's too big to attach use a file sharing site and PM me a link...
                            Also some step by step instructions on how to make the splats would be most helpful...

                              2 issues that I have posted about -

                                • Is the layer behavior a bug or feature?

                              Video:
                              https://youtu.be/v9GZJrM7Jvo

                              I am getting the layer turned on in the scene I start from, when I believe it should only be on in the new scene that SCF creates.

                              1. the crashes - it crashes just with 2 boxes on the screen, and I believe this is connected to having a new scene created that is using a style that has been altered, but not refreshed.

                                  TIG.

                                  I upgraded SectionCutFace using extension store, the previous version was working fine and with this upgrade to 6.1 when I want to create a section I don't get the prameters window.

                                  Any clues why this doe not appear.

                                  Thanks

                                    I see this too - most perplexing...
                                    COMPO seems to be mistranslated in the strings file...

                                        I just installed SectionCutFace. I get the context menu "Add SectionCut Face" but right-clicking it does nothing, other than closing the context menu. There is no dialog box to specify the paramenters, and no section cut face is generated.

                                        After right-clicking, the following is added to the Ruby console:

                                        Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant TIG::SectionCutFace::COMPO>

                                        Other info: I am running Pro 17.1.174 64-bit on Windows 7. The plugin was installed using the Sketchucation ExtensionStore interface.

                                          You're not supposed to right click on Add SectionCut Face. You're supposed to left click on it.

                                            Irrespective of that... did you download/install the latest update v6.2 ?

                                            It fixes this issue...
                                            It was posted in within the last hour or so...
                                            I expect your download and problem overlapped with this update...
