Quasi Newbie here...
Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations on how to create aerial roadways like flyover ramps and above grade interchanges or know of plugins that might enable a modeler to quickly form them?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks.
I grouped the models like suggested. It helped in some cases so for that I am grateful.
Yes, I am using Zorro Version 2 rather than the previous one.
No problem re: the discussion. You guys were addressing two separate topics. Fortunately, I understood where you were both coming from. Get some rest.

Gaieus, I read your post with the twilight version as soon as I joined the forum. It was great. It's what got me started down this path originally.

I have sacrificed every model in the presentation many times. Our IT guy is having a fit while the models grow exponetially. I hope folks find a better way to render a building section soon.
I will try all the suggestions posted.

Thanks again. English speaker LauraJ

Yes, the 'Section Plane Cut' plugin works pretty well if your rendering in SketchUp.
The actual sliced model is what I am currently struggling with. I think perhaps it is a corrup import that has started the downward spiral. Just wish I knew how to find it and purge it from the file.
It could save hours of effort.

Any ideas how to locate the error causing offender? Apologies for the barrage of questions.

Sorry for the mixed message on authorship. Really appreciate the feed back. Hoping to resolve things soon. Are there other ways to section cut/slice models for rendering?
Why can't other programs see through SketchUp's section cuts planes?

Thanks again for your time and consult.

Hello,

Newbie here. New to the forum, not so new to SketchUp.
I am cutting sections of models for presentation and rendering them in Podium.
The Zorro Plugin was working perfectly and then "Bugsplat" started. It became chronic and I had to slice the models in half the hard way. What could cause this and how can I prevent it? Is it a corrupt import or a geometry Zorro does not like? Google Terrain? I have no clue but I have a lot of models to go and any assistance would be worth its weight in gold. Many thanks.
