[Plugin] SectionCutFace
-
I can't replicate the issue...
The SCF's settings are remembered with the Section Plane, as attributes.
When you select a Section Plane the context-menu shows appropriate options.
A Section Plane that has never had a SCF gets 'Add...' - and using that takes your entered settings and then it makes the SCF based on those - if you choose to allow it to be 'Re-made', it then links it to the Section Plane, and adds the settings to the Section Plane as attributes,
If the Section Plane has a SCF or it once had one that perhaps you deleted, and it is set to be Remake-able, you get the 'Re-Make...' option as well.
If you choose that, then a replacement SCF is created using the previously used settings [read from the attributes], any preexisting linked SCF is delete, and a new linked SCF is added.
If you choose 'Add...' then the settings dialog pops up with the last used SCF settings - any preexisting linked 'Re-make-able' SCF is delete, and a new one is added. -
Getting crashes in 2017 Mac with the latest update. Might copy back in my older version and see if I get the same behavior. It didn't crash yesterday at all.

Working just fine, same model in 2016.
Will see if I have the latest SU2017 installed. -
Nothing to report, sporadic crashes in 2017 Mac with certain models, solid in 2015 and 2016 with same model.

Hi TIG,
Great plugin, but I have a question. I'm trying to couple sectioncutface with the keyframe animation plugin, essentially to animate a section cut in perspective through a building model, except by animating the building to move through the section plane, keeping the plane and camera in the same spot. Is it possible to have sectioncutface update real-time as the animation is played?

When I create a scene with the SCF plugin the layer I have added the section to is now on in the current scene as well as the new scene... is this a bug or a feature? I would expect that the current scene would not be affected by anything happening when I choose 'New Scene'
I'm also getting bug splats every couple of times I run the plugin. I have sent off the bug slats, not sure where I can access them to show you what is going on.
Last bugs plat submitted was Crash Report #7925

Submitted multiple more bug splats, the latest was Crash Report #7933

OK - I think I have isolated the issue, am testing now.
If I run the plugin to create a new scene from a scene that uses a style where 'Section Planes' has not been updated or refreshed - SU crashes.
Done this twice now in a row. Will test more.
If I run the plugin in a scene with a style that I have not altered (like turned the section planes on so I can see them, to create the new cut) - then it works consistently.
-
A guaranteed way to Splat is to Remake Section when you section is hiding all content.

OK - This appears to be the case - if any change is made to the style of the current scene (like turn section planes on or off) - if you don't refresh the style when SectionCutFace tries to make a new scene it crashes.
I have tested this by altering edges, not refreshing and getting a crash, as well as only toggling the Section Plane on and off (for visibility) - and it crashes if I do not update the style before running the plugin.

I'm trying to make new...
See below - I think I have isolated what is happening - its related to styles...

Can we keep the posts on this in the one place - here...
Having other posts at SketchUp.com is confusing - although their team's comments on your BugSplats might be helpful...Can you provide a simple model with Styles etc that shows this behavior...
ZIP it and PM if you don't want it 'public'...
If it's too big to attach use a file sharing site and PM me a link...
Also some step by step instructions on how to make the splats would be most helpful... -

2 issues that I have posted about -
-
- Is the layer behavior a bug or feature?
Video:
https://youtu.be/v9GZJrM7JvoI am getting the layer turned on in the scene I start from, when I believe it should only be on in the new scene that SCF creates.
- the crashes - it crashes just with 2 boxes on the screen, and I believe this is connected to having a new scene created that is using a style that has been altered, but not refreshed.

Here's v6.1 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SectionCutFace
New FR strings file added [thanks to @mariocha].
Re-signed for full v2017 compatibility.Haven't yet got to the bottom of the @bmike reported issues.
Watch this space... -
TIG.
I upgraded SectionCutFace using extension store, the previous version was working fine and with this upgrade to 6.1 when I want to create a section I don't get the prameters window.
Any clues why this doe not appear.
Thanks
-
I see this too - most perplexing...
COMPO seems to be mistranslated in the strings file...
Bear with me... -
Thanks for the error report...
Here's v6.2 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SectionCutFace
The glitch with the COMP constant - i.e the incrementing SCUT name in all strings has been fixed. -
I just installed SectionCutFace. I get the context menu "Add SectionCut Face" but right-clicking it does nothing, other than closing the context menu. There is no dialog box to specify the paramenters, and no section cut face is generated.
After right-clicking, the following is added to the Ruby console:
Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant TIG::SectionCutFace::COMPO>
