      hello,
      i studied the api, but cannot find a way to

      retrieve the active section plane of a page

      without making the page an active page (means only by iteration thru pages and getting the corresponding section-plane).

      is that possible?

      thanx a lot for helping !

        A page does not 'have' the active_section_plane.
        That belongs to the model.active_entities as .active_section_plane
        So you do need to make the page [scene] in question model.pages.selected_page= and then check the active section-plane details in the model.active_entities ...

          HI TIG,

          yes, thanx a lot, i am at this point, too, i think,
          and i could iterate thru all pages (make the active one after another), with view.refresh off, maybe,

          i just was hoping, that there is a hidden property for an active section.

          so the conclusion is:

          the page (scene) stores the active section - but there is no way to retrieve it directly by api at the moment πŸ˜„

          thanx a lot again πŸ˜„
