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.

really GREAT plugin, THANKS A LOT!

Thank you very much....!

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]

Sorry TIG, I got this error with the 2.3 version with a simple box model
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined methodset_visibility' for nil:NilClass>
C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb:383:inface' C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb:451 C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb:451:incall'`
and i don't understand how the plug works with the scene/page transition. Draw a cube, add two scenes, in second scene make a section and add "section cut face". Is the below result the expected one?
Thanks.
Massimo.
