Hi! This plugin is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Is it possible to place the solid section on the walls? I also noticed that the view is at the tag level. I think it would have been better if the view was positioned 1.5m above the tag.

To try this yourself... open the file ../Plugins/TIG-ElevTag/TIG-ElevTag.rb
Use a plain-text editor like Notepad++ or TextWrangler.
Find line #266 [it reads " up=tr.zaxis"] and insert a new line after it, with this text:
eye.offset!([0, 0, 1.5.m])

That will lift the eye-level of the camera up by 1.5 meters, or whatever you add...

Hi we have using this tool for many years but found it have compatibility problem with sketchup 2019 , the "section cut plane" wont be generated after using so the view wont be "locked like what it should be in new version sketchup . don't know if it can be resolved as its really a good tool for generate elevation view in sketchup . thanks

I think you a muddling this up with SectionCutFace ?
In v2019 there's an auto-face option for Styles which is not editable.
Check that you Style has that un-ticked...

Hi, thanks for reply , i did not muddling this with sectioncutface .

Normally a " section cut plane " will be generated when making a section in sketchup and the physical " plane" available to be turned on and off .

It works in 2018 version and before version when i use this plugin to generate elevation scene , but problem come out after i upgraded into SketchUp 2019 .

After i use this plugin generate section cut scene , the " section cut plane " is not be created , and the model displayed crashing when i orbit.

I think I now understand your issue better...

Whether a section-plane appears in a scene-tab or not, is controlled by each scene-tab's settings.
If if is set up right it should show the section-cut in the newly added elev-tag scene tabs - which will have been copied from the tab's settings current when they get made...

To add a missing section-cut to a elev-tag's new scene-tab you simply need to activate the section cuts' visibility and activate the desire cut [then hide the scene-tabs], then remember to update the relevant section-tab to see the section.

You scene setting's can be set up to NOT copy many settings over, check yours are set up as you need them...

I don't that this has ever been more 'automated' in this toolset...
