Have tried using that, is a helpful plugin, although it doesn't achieve the results that I'm wishing for.

I'm needing a section that cuts through groupings as well, and after the cut is easy to remove the geometry on the unwanted side.

Since I am wanting to export the 3d from sketchup, my section planes by themselves do not transfer to the other program.

I haven't been able to find any help in exporting '3d' sections from sketchup.
I would assume exporting a 2d section would be relatively easy being able to group via the section plane, however I wish to export the '3d' section (rather hard to explain)... Am basically wanting a section plane through my scene and delete the geometry that is no longer visible.

Also, model is too complex to be grouping via section plane, exploding and then manually clearing the unwanted geometry

Anybody have any tips/help/tutorials/rubys that could help me achieve this?

if people were to record their modelling as a video then cheating would be a lot harder..

using fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) is extremely easy

perfect. exactly what I was looking for. Cheers

yeah have tried that, cant get the results I'm looking for though, as the curve is using all 3 axes it makes it pretty frustrating. May just have to settle for an arc which doesn't pass exactly through the points I need it to

Hi all,

Just wondering whether anyone could tell me/suggest a ruby which you specify multiple points that the curve/arc needs to go through?

Surely one must exist somewhere, just haven't been able to track it down

hmmmm turns out I found the problem... For some reason I had extracted the files into the tools directory instead of the plugins directory

Yep, I have that checked.. that little 'dash thing' that shows up (as shown earlier in the image with the arrow) is what shows up when I have 'Surface Operations' checked

TaffGoch... thanks a lot for that all is working well now. I couldn't get the texture pins working for me either, I completely overlooked the material editor

... Just a final question, how did u trace the lines?? The tools on surface plugin?

have just tried your idea TaffGoch, was a great idea but sketchup only places the texture on 1 segment of the curve
