      I have read all posts related to Section_Plane and understand that, at now, the APIs doesn't permit to use in a USEFULL way a Section_Plane (only create and show) but not to ACTIVATE and thus "visually slice" the model.
      So, turning back to the "old way", i.e. use the Section Tool (via a Skecthup.send_action for example?) would be a possible trick?
      My question is: is there a way to position the Section_Plane via this approach? To be more precise, is it possible to "emulate a left click" via APIs?

        To me, what seems to be missing is "deactivate".

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

          Consider:
          model.rendering_options["DisplaySectionPlanes"] = false ### or true model.rendering_options["DisplaySectionCuts"] = false ### or true
          And to manipulate that further...
          "SectionActiveColor" "SectionCutDrawEdges" "SectionCutWidth" "SectionDefaultCutColor" "SectionInactiveColor"
          If it's active BUT not displayed it's similar to deactivate ?
