[Plugin] SectionCutFace
-
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]

Here's v2.3 28/07/09 CUT-x's layer now only 'on' in current page/scene.

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.

Massimo.Do you have any 'Pages' [Scenes] ?
EDIT: see next message for fixing update... -
No error now, thanks. Real time plugins...
But about the result? -
This is the situation after the cut with no scenes added, but if i add a scene before the cut no error occurs.
EDIT: TIG answered with the 2.4 version before my reply
-
this is just a fab plugin.
thank you a lot. very helpful!!! saves a lot of time...kind regards...
-
Works really cool, thanks, TIG!
(And now... If only the section cut face would also move when I make a section animation/transition between two scenes! But sigh... I know, I know...)

That's exactly the result I was looking for, Gaieus.
-
I didn't even expect it to be possible at all!
Fingers crossed however (and now all the exporter scripters for external renderers should start thinking about how to export these animated section cuts! ) -

I have a half-baked version that keeps bug-splatting ! It adds observers between the section-plane and the faced-group and remakes/moves them together... Don't expect it to be safe for public consumption soon...

just downloaded. this should help with my longhand way of doing this!

I've only been using SU for half a year and I love it. But at the same time leaving autodesk for sketchup, I left pc for mac and I allso love that. Just one tiny little problem "sectioncutface"!!! Everyone gets saved by Tig, but what about me and my resentance to ever using pc again. Is there anything simular to OS x?! Help

I posted a message one hour ago, but I have learned that the sectioncutface.rb does work with mac. Needed to make the folder Plugin in my libary. Thanks for the solution to a big problem.
