      Please read its usage notes.
      You must have just one section-plane selected.
      The right-click menu then offers you the tool with options as appropriate.
      It does not appear in any other menus or have a toolbar...
      You need to read its usage notes to understand how it works and to get the results that suit you...

        Hi, TIG.
        This SectionCutFace_v8.0.rbz plugin does not work in WinXPSP3 with SU 14.
        Got a mistake see the pic pls.
        Clip.jpg

        Is there possible to run plugin v.8.0 on WinXPSP3 + SU14 ?
        PS Version 6.2 works well.

            But plugin's description says:
            "Compatibility: v2014, v2015, v2016, v2017, v2018, v2019, v2020, v2021/22, v2023, v2024, v2025
            Dependencies: Best in >= v2014 - PM TIG for earlier version fixes..."
            Is it wrong ?

              Whilst it is best with >=v2017 it can still work in earlier versions.

              But your error message suggest that it hasn't even been installed properly.
              It is a 'load error' saying it can't find SectionCutFace_start.rb in its subfolder.
              For each extension, in your Plugins folder you should have a loader file, say 'xxxx.rb', and a subfolder with a matching name, say 'xxxx'.
              In that subfolder there should be the main code file(s) [RB or RBE] and any other files needed by the tool.
              Check your Plugins folder and try reinstalling the whole set of files/subfolder...

                Yes, it is clear.
                Plugin was reinstalled twice.
                Plugin folder has SectionCutFace.rb
                Subfolder SectionCutFace plugin has SectionCutFace_start.rbe file.
                Everything have made as you said but the same error gotten.

                Pls see pics:

                What is wrong pls ?!

                  I've used this for years on multiple versions of SU. All of a sudden, it crashes SU 2023 Pro. Yesterday it worked, today it's causing SU to hang

                    Everything you have set up looks correct.
                    Try reverting to an earlier version.
                    It has changed from RBS to RBE filetypes which might be causing the heartache...

                      Hello! Love this extension thank you ! Do you think it would be possible to be able to change the fill individually after the cut ? (like when you cut trough multiple materials) or simply having a color style that would color the face in the same material as the cut object ? That would be dope, especially with the 2025 "patterns" material!
                      Thank you ! Have a nice day ! πŸ™‚

                        You can already do that to a section cut face group.
                        Unlock it [if needed], then edit the group, and apply the different materials you want to the faces.
                        If you regenerate the section cut face then those changes are lost.

                          @alskaro do you mean something like this? As TIG says, apply whatever materials you want to the various faces in the SectionCut Face.
