        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?

                                      SUFractal has reported a clash/crash with SectionCutFace [and some other scripts] if BIMtools is installed - we suspect that new tool might be inadvertently messing with native class/methods used correctly by other scripts, OR it has faulty observers that are messing with things like group creation...
                                      Do any of you experiencing problems have BIMtools installed ?
                                      If so, try disabling it and retry/report back...

                                        How does one do that? Sorry, I am totally new and have no idea what that means. I appreciate your help.

                                          Well... first have you [recently] installed BIMtools?
                                          If not don't worry.
                                          BUT if you did, then find the file you installed in Plugins - look inside the original 'zip' file to see what these were. There should be 'bim-tools.rb' and its folder of other files that it uses.
                                          So disabling 'bim-tools.rb' in Plugins will stop it auto-loading.
                                          You can either move that file out of the Plugins folder temporarily so Sketchup doesn't then find it when starting, so it is not auto-loaded; OR you could leave it where it is and rename it 'bim-tools.rb!' - only file-types '.rb' and '.rbs' are auto-loaded.

                                          If you restart and try SectionCutFace now does it work...
                                          If so we have the culprit...

                                          If you want to restore a disabled tool later on, then either move its file[s] back into Plugins, or if you have adopted the other approach, rename the file[s] back as 'xxx.rb' etc...

                                            I don't recall having installed anything like that and a spotlight search reveals no files with such name. I've checked my SU folder as well and there doesn't seem to be any such script. Thoughts?
