Too Many Section Planes are too foggy. Any suggestion?
-
I do drafting/modeling for an interior designer and, when I need to adjust the section planes, it is a little difficult to navigate around the model to place the section planes at the right spots.
any way to make section planes more transparent or organize them in a way to see only a handful of them at a time?

Wow that IS a lot of planes. I relate planes to layers and to scenes to be able to see one at a time, but that may not work for you. It looks like you are doing architectural work. I can't imagine how you are making use of soooo many sections. Maybe put several in each of a new set of "section" layers. Then you can turn off most of the section layers to be able to see fewer planes at a time.
It may be that the sections belong to only a portion of the project that is (already) or could be a discrete component. Placing the related sections inside that component will also help isolate viewing fewer planes at a time.

Yes, I used them for interior elevations.
However, I learned that I should have put the camera position facing the elevation that I want w/ parallel projection instead of putting section each time....................
well, well, but
that is good idea to put a group of section planes in a layer so that i can turn on/off!
thank you for your input!@pbacot said:

that's great recommendation. Thank you!

When I do interior elevations in my models, I set it up in a new sketchup file and reference in my 'base' model. This way i don't have a million scenes or section lines in my main construction model.
