Many thanks pgarmyn.. this is a really good plugin - i was asked this in a recent class and it was not an easy answer..

Very neat result!

Can I see a video explaining how this works please?

[floatl:wid3noag][/floatl:wid3noag]this looks like a good one. Works in Mac.

But with Maxwell Fire the result is not correct. The wall shadows are there but the ceiling shadows and ceiling are not. View is not section. Needs more tries to figure out--sort of a half way result.

Thank you very much for sharing this!

Dear pgarmyn,

thanks for this plug-in, its really good, but i try to do it on section elevation, but it seems won't generate the scene, is it only just for plan view??

thanks,
vd

It should work in any direction. What happens? What's your system? What is your Sketchup version?

Im working with Win XP SP 2, and Google Sketchup Pro 8 M3,
it just working fine whenever im doing it at plan view (it generated the scene tab)
but when i was try to do sectionbycamera on elevation, it seems don't have any reaction.. (not generated a scene tab)

thanks,

OK.
I found out that a section parallel to the red-blue axises doesn't work.
I will fix that. Thanks for testing vidy.
