      Hi, i'm just starting in ruby.

      I'm making a script that combines automatic sectionmaterials and projected information on the sectionplane (like beams represented by pointed lines in architectural drawings).

      Is there a way to activate an existing sectionplane in ruby ?

      if @@sel[0].class == Sketchup::SectionPlane

      what to do here ????

      end

      And how activating View/SectionCuts in a ruby ?

        You have quite quickly discovered a problem with the current API - there are VERY limited methods to access the SectionPlane object...
        You can't set/reset the active section by code.
        You will have to make some manual connections between active-sections and Scenes... and then perhaps access a scene to activate its section !
        You can activate a particular view by making that scene [page] the 'selected_page' under model.pages...
