      how many sides do you think I'll need? I have attached WIP to give an idea of the shapes involved and the detailing πŸ˜„

      I did a test with 100 sides and the polygons were visible so I guess it does require quite a lot :S

        I don't know. It's kind of dark so it's hard to see.

        Does this look like it is smooth enough?

        That's 50 segments going around the long way.

          yes it looks perfect:) My problem is that the circular shapes I'm using in my design are differently scaled - some of them are 20meters in diameter so the 'jagged' faces are much more visible.

            That ring is drawn at a bit over 5 meters in diameter but I doubt it would look any different at 20m or 200m.

                  Hello! I've downloaded this pluggin several times and just did again with this version, and it just won't work: I don't get the context menu option at all!

                  My friends at uni are using it on the same version of SketchUp Pro (7.1.6859) without a problem... Here are some screenshots to try to explain. The context menu screenshot is from when I clicked on the section cut plane - there isn' anything missing from that menu, I only cut the screenshot a bit too close.

                  Does it make a difference that I am still on the trial version of V-Ray?

                  many thanks.
                  Best wishes

                    Looks like you've got your plugins in the incorrect folder. Plugins for SketchUp should be in Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins.

                    If I had to guess, I'd say Zorro 2 doesn't work either.

                      Thank you so much for this, it works now! How embarrassing - but it's good that it was this easy to solve. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

                      (And yes, of course Zorro wasn't working either!)

                          I know of no issues causing 'freezing'...
                          Open the Ruby Console.
                          Run the tool.
                          Any error messages in the Console or otherwise ?
                          Report back...

                              I see you are on v7 with Lion.
                              I know there were some fixes with v8M2 to address problems with Lion, perhaps that's the issue πŸ˜•
                              So... any Lion users out there [with v7/v8] who are getting error free use from this tool ??

                              I'm also now wondering if you have one of the problem scripts loading that can affect core class/methods ill-advisedly - these include SketchyPhysics, DrivingDimensions, MatchBox and some 'Solar' tool I cant bring to mind... Although some of these are PC only I think... This tool should workaround potential pitfalls made in its legitimate code by these files, but there might still be a trip-up somewhere. If you have any of these other scripts try to disable them and restart [move the .rb/.rbs files out of the Plugins folder temporarily].
                              Does this do anything better ?

                                  Do you have the latest v8 = v8M2 ?
                                  This specifically addressed some issues with Lion...

                                        I am new to this forum and seem to be experiencing a Sketchup crash every time I try to use section cut face. I am using Sketchup Pro 8 on a MacBook Pro i7 2.0 GHz with 8 MB RAM. I am not sure what the problem is. Has anyone else experience this?
