      Now it works fine! 👍 Only a little thing: the edges are not included in the section cut group. Is that normal?
      Thank you.

        Yes it's quite normal in all versions up to v2.1: however I have just added two more options to the dialog with v2.2, one let's you keep un-faced edges (default=No) and the other let's you hide all edges (defaults=Yes)... get it here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=172583#p172583

                          Dear TIG,

                          The white sheet becomes black with the thanks we give you at each new script you offer to the community!!

                          I had used this one with a total pleasure here: Modeling] A PoorFlatEllipsoidIndian Bowl into this video: SketchUp/PotterSC_S&S_Quarter2(sorry to advertise this way my own products: I have presently nothing better done with SectionCutFace to show)

                                No.
                                To see what most scripts do you can download them and if they don't have a separate readme or pdf then open the .rb file with a plain text editor (NotePad.exe etc) and read the first part which is almost always a description and helpful notes...
                                Basically SectionCutFace is a tool that lets you fill in the faces of a section cut, coloured etc as desired...

                                SectionCutFace adds a right-click context-menu item 'Add Section-Cut Face' that becomes available if you have selected one (active) section-plane. It opens a dialog and you can then set options - the cut's face colour, the section-cut's colour+width, the cut's layer, if its un-faced edges are kept and if all its edges are finally hidden etc... On 'OK' it adds a group to the model that is placed on* the section-cut plane (*actually it's 0.2mm inside so you still see it !). This group contains faces on what should be the solid parts of the section: it is coloured and setup as you've specified, put on its own layer as you might want it 'switched-off' in other views... It isn't foolproof - you can invent a section with ambiguous areas of solid/void but if it guesses the faced/unfaced areas wrongly then you can simply edit the group and fix them.

                                      Thank you so much for this! I just had a project where I spent half the day trying to create what your .rb did in 5 secs. Essential for all architects.

                                        TIG, I have a request for this great little script.
                                        Generally when i as a section cut, I only want it in the current scene; I assume most others would also.

                                        Is it possible to edit the script to view the cut layer active only in the current scene?
                                        [Just like Jim's [Add hidden Layer" does]
                                        👍
