      Nick - set up a model with a section cut through it and hide section planes but show section cuts. Save the page. Now show the section plane and hide the section plane (right click hide!!) and add another section plane and slide it futher down the building, hide section planes and save that page.

      If you go from page 1 to page 2 the section cut will slide down the building.

      cheers

        Thanks John,

        I've already seen this happen but was too lazy to find out how it really works.

          Nick, maybe you need to PM Paul and ask him if he wants advise on how he does it. I'm thinking that maybe Paul uses some of the Smustard ruby scripts for this, have a look at their "presentation bundle".

          Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

            Juju,

            I could get it to work without any scripts (at least not that I know of...)

              Great, thanks all.

              Well, it just as simple as that. πŸ˜„

              Not sure what I was doing before, but my confusion may have been on account of trying to maneuver the moving section plane among an existing set of scenes. I just wiped my existing scenes and started over. Works as expected.

              Thanks again.

                        Just perfect.
                        Just what I need for my archaeology stuff: popping in with the "ruins" and reconstructing the whole building with animation like this. Step-by-step.

                        I'll jump into it.

                        Thanks for the inspiration!
