      Hi there,

      I'm Paul from N Ireland, this is my first post!

      I'm a designer of musical instruments and I've been using Sketchup for the past couple of months. I've only really had a chance to familiarise myself with it over the Christmas break (it's addictive) but I'm still very much a beginner. Why didn't I find this years ago? - it would have saved my clients putting up with my poor sketching abilities πŸ˜„

      I'm trying currently to create a tube with an angled cut in it, I have managed to demonstrate the effect using the section plane tool - see attached image, but I'm unsure how I make this a permanent edit.

      I've looked through the forum archives and the sketchup help but I'm drawing a blank - I'd appreciate your help and guidance.

      Many thanks

      Paul

        Yes it's not permanent and make not cut fullface πŸ˜‰
        Just make that
        Draw one (or more) simple big Rectangle(s) surface
        Select All
        Right Click / Intersect Selected
        And kill all that you don't want!
        SU must be helped in Boolean operations πŸ˜‰
        You are now a musician murderer πŸ˜„

        Else with plug like Booltools at Smustard you can make that automatically πŸ˜‰
        But it's 10 $ πŸ˜’
