      Thanks box, so simply is is beyond the scope of what I can do with sketchup. I guess it does not bugsplat as there is no point in reporting a known limitation. Thanks again at least I do not have to keep trying will have to settle for a texture as any reduction with segments would show up anyway

        Corrugated iron comes in sheets, it's not one continuous roof. So make it out of parts.

          I followed the same logic and as impluasable as it may sound I tried it 3 different ways. all good I did each sheet one by one, all good until I get nearly to the end ....crash all crashed with different
          size sheets about at the same point. Believe it or not, I can come to no other conclusion than it is not a one by one real time thing...........it is cumulative ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ That is a bug ❗

            If you attach your model we may be able to sort it out.

              This is a quick example of how I would look at it.

                Ok I will, thank you. Image is how I did it, or one of three ways not to do it. πŸ˜‰

                  Box, I never would have considered using a section plane for construction. Hand on heart you are a true master πŸ‘

                    I was able to make a paneled triangular section of roof with your model after I did a bit of cleaning up. I move the model near the origin and removed all the extraneous hidden geometry in the panel.
                    Have a go doing what you want with this version and see if it makes a difference.

                          By cleaning up the corrugated geometry I was able to make it one sheet and simply intersect it with the triangle.
                          Try not to creat so many hidden edges. And the 'thickness' faces are not necessary if you are going to chop through the faces.
