Hey, this old plugin needs some marketing! Only after installing the new S4U Camera Clipping plugin (https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=s4u_Clipping_Camera) I realized that for years we have had a simple solution to clipping issues and it can be achieved with Camera > Advanced setting introduced by ThomThom.

What's more surprising to me is that it is actually a native SketchUp dialog that can be accessed via ruby console by just typing:
Sketchup.send_action(10624)
true

So simple solver and some people still pay 50 bucks for some other plugin which does the same thing...

We pay for the plugin because it solves the problem, effectively. The developer invested considerable time, effort and resources to develop a solution. It was first. Only after it was released other people all of a sudden "discovered" the solution.

That's not true.
The Sketchup.send_action(10624) solution has been known long before the plugin came.

The action may have been there, but nobody did anything. Strange how it all came together after the release of the extension.

It may not have been publicly known but I and others have been using it for years.
There is at least one old thread about it on the forum.

A quick search and I found this post from 2016 by Pyroluna.

Indeed. I've used it for many years. I remember it being included in a list along with other Send Action options during the @Last days.
