[Plugin] Zorro2 (beta)
-
Chimbalo—
I had the same experience as you. SU crashed when I tried to place the section plane inside the component and slice. I had to place the section plane from OUTSIDE the component and then it works like a charm.
Thanks for figuring that one out, and thanks for the Ruby!!
Best,
Jim

Probably not, at least not for a very long time.

Wow...thanks! You need to spend some more time around here to see what else is available. You might be shocked!
-
Thank you SO much for this plugin! Being able to quickly create and render section perspectives is an architecture student's dream!

Just discovered this plugin through the Maxwell Render forum, but have been having similar issues as others: bug splats every time, even after exploding and removing a lot of the geometry. Anybody found a work-around for this? My model was rather complex, groups inside of components inside of components inside of components, but I've reduced significantly. Even copying geometry and pasting into new file does nothing.

I think one suggestion was to make sure your section cut is not inside a group or component.
-
I've exploded the entire model (a copy of the original). There are now no groups or components. Same result.
EDIT: The weird thing is that when I tell it to slice using the section, at the bottom it says "Cutting Group #2...", but there are no groups listed if I go into my Model Options. It gets stuck there and then crashes.

i wanna try some
thanks -
you will all love me for this one.
In order to CUT a section within a model, YOU DO NOT need to section plane and explode and delete etc!
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is put it in PARALLEL projection and set the camera where you need the section to be.
Voila, section (obviously doesnt work for perspectives, but for elevations of architectural drawings this is an amazingly fast and easy fix.

Man ijust love it

I don't understand the steps, because once activating zorro, it asks for a line to be drawn?

Please read the PDF tutorial found on the first page.

I would like to download zorro 2 but my computer doesn't read the .rb extension. Do you have some instructions on how to install it.
-
No need to read anything. Simply download the .rb file at the bottom of the first post and put it in your Sketchup's plugin folder (C-->programs-->google etc.). You will find Zorro under Tools menu.
However if you want to read a .rb file use, for example, NotePad. -
I'm doing it just as the tutorial says
first "add section cut face"
and the "slice model at section"
but even though my model doesn't have any groups, when it is cutting "group #n (29 or 31 most of the times)" the sketch up crashes
i've got a deadline in college, really need this to work out!
anyone can help?
thanks! -
is there any way (tips/tricks or other cut tool) that only cuts the front faces, and not back (and not visiable) faces? I strongly need that
plz -

After a few hours I figure it out how to fix the bug splat, I have a heavy model, every time that I started using the slice tool my model crashed up, I tryed exploding the model, chainging to newer sketch up, etc etc etc. At the end I took all the model and grouped up whith out the cuting plane, after I slice it, and was the solution for the problem, now it doesn't matter how heavy is the file, the plug in ,work fine. sorry for my bad english, I hope is useful for you.
I had the same issue, did the same thing like you did, making one big group and the problem was solved
