          The problem for me when i use section plans is that there is no inference; you can not set their position precisely

          for a reinforced concrete structure, it may not be important; for a steel structure it is because you might have to be more precise

          is there a way to paste a section plan precisely to a point, or a line, for example?

          It is only a detail compared to all the work you have already done... congratulations...

              That looks great. I might be wanting this in my workflow. Must have taken a lot of work (and brains). Thank you. Peter

                  Looks interesting.

                  Where is the "Section Drawing" folder? I can't seem to locate it?

                    Hi,guanjin.
                    This plugin create section to drawing.

                    So the drawing of face side is not supported.

                    But,The door openning in center of the picture you posted weighs on my mind.

                    I want upload your file here.

                    Hi,SU Fractal.
                    "DrawingSection" folder will be created in the same folder with the editing sketchup model file.
                    Do not create new folder when it is not saved.
                    But section drawing is created as component definition ,too.
                    So looking for the component list.It will be found.

                    Thanks.

                          Hi, tak2hata:
                          I would like to say that this is a significant accomplishment based on what I saw in the video. I can see this as a very useful and valuable tool in a document production process. Congratulations.

                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                            Very nice and thank you. However, when the section is created, the window that pops up indicates how long the process took and it says "Time Wasted". I wouldn't call it "time wasted". It's not a waste at all, but it is a time saver. 👍 👍 Thank you so much.

                              I'm sorry tak2hata, I'm not following you. I looked inside the folder (on my hard drive) where the model is located ... is that what you mean?

                              Thanks.

                                        Wow, Tak2hata This is truly an amazing plugin. I can't wait to use it. The more I see plugins like this, I keep asking the question why Revit when you can SketchUp? It's plugins like this that will make Trimble proud they are getting a program that gets cooler by each user's contribution. Autodesk could NEVER say that. Great work!
