[Plugin] SectionCutFace
-
That is odd...
It has an observer that looks for tool changes.
I am looking at ways of minimizing its impact - perhaps that's it when you have zillions of objects to consider... I'll see if I can get its activities minimized
-
well, we upgraded our sketchups from 8 to Make and the plugin set was the same in all of our 40 pcs. tested that by deleting plugins one by one, close&open SU and found this result. by the way thank you for developing these plugins so responsively.
-
A new version is now available from the PluginStore.
http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=SectionCutFace
It renames 'Glue' as 'Auto-Update'.
The observers used for 'Auto-Update' SectionCutFaces are re-honed and optimized to minimize 'lag' during regenerations.
If there are no 'Auto-Update' SectionCutFaces in the model then any lag should be imperceptible. -
Does SectionCutFace work with Macs (OSX10.7, Mountain Lion)?
No SectionCutFace context menus available when section planes are right-clicked...
-
It works on my Mac just fine.
-
You must have ONE section-plane selected - no more and nothing else selected either.
You only get the context-menu when that one section-plane is highlighted [selected]...
Works fine on PC and MAC for me - provided that simple rule is followed...

I did follow that simple rule, however, I made a stupid mistake elsewhere.
I installed the plugin to the reservoir folder (mysteriously named "Plugins" just by chance!
) that I made especially to keep and archive all the plugins… so it wasn't installed properly to begin with.
Now it's installed to "plugins" under Sketchup folder, and working fine.
Sorry to waste your time, guys. -
Has this plugin been updated to work with 2014?
I can't seem to bring it into the application
thanks

GaryIt works just for me in Su2014 on both PC and Mac. How did you try to install it?
-
It is an Extension named 'SectionCutFace': you might need to activate it from Preferences > Extensions - BUT when first loaded it ought to be auto-activated
Please note that it only appears in the context-menu if there is just one Section-Plane selected.
There are NO menu entries or toolbars... if that is what you expected.Please read the brief [and I think quite clear] Usage instructions...

@TIG,
Thank you SO much for your awesome plug-in. I love using it and it saves me a great deal of time.
However, since upgrading to SketchUp 2014 (I'm on a Mac), I have noticed some instability at times. Have you encountered any such problems?
Thanks again!

Please advise what issues, I see none, but you might have something I can replicate...
I have seen a minor occasional issue with v2014 where a newly made group's contents are not visible until you select it and edit, then everything adjust OK.
I have trapped for this in some other tools, but not SCFace - perhaps that's it ?? -
It doesn't seem to do with newly made groups and what you were referring to. To be more specific, it seems to crash when I open an existing file (with SectionCutFace items), or have a file already open and open an additional file. I noticed you're using Windows so perhaps it's a Mac issue?

Thia has been reported in another thread a few days agao.
It has been traced to SCFace [and probably other plugins adding/removing observers], it is a known issue with v2014 on some MACs - in PMs yesterday I was assured that Trimble are looking to address this.
Oddly I can't get it to happen on my MAC
Meanwhile I am looking to recast SCFace to side-step the issue.
Hopefully I will issue a glitch-proofed updated version sometime today...
-
Here is v4.5 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SectionCutFace
Its observers have now been adjusted to prevent the splats reported by a very few MAC+Mavericks users...
A known issue with v2014MR0 that will hopefully be addressed in a future MR...Please test and report any further issues in this thread...

When will this be updated to work with 2014???
Thanks -

ThanksSome hours BEFORE your post, see TIGs announcement directly above your post?!

It was actually updated to work with v2014 some MONTHS ago.
Since then it has worked fine on all versions for ALL PCs and most MACs - but unfortunately a recently reported occasional splat issue with its observers for some v2014 MACs+Mavericks has required a rewrite - hence the latest version issued yesterday -

Will give it a whirl (can't live without this plug-in anyways...) and let you know if I experience any issues!

Thanks TIG for the update!!
