Creating RENDERED SECTION VIEWS in Twinmotion

[@habitatplus8405]

Justin, thanx, it might have already been discovered by someone or yourself, but i've figured out the thickness option what it does... by the way i find your video's extremely helpful to learn twinmotion thank you for that!!! if you walls are white and the colour you've selected for your cut is black it's much easier to notice what the thickness option do, it increase or decrease the section plane at the top of the wall, this makes it sooo much easier when you take the image to photoshop to colour in the wall sections so that it looks solid when presenting it to clients.

Always saving the day no matter the software or technique. Thank you so much.

Rendered section views, imagine the possibilities. Great video Justin.

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

:) - I thought I saw someone animate a section plane transition somewhere, but I couldn't figure out how to do it - still fun!

Awesome Section tool.. ! .. But, in others videos I saw that they do that, in the "eye" icon, and in the house icon, in the View options.. with Path Tracer-- d´You think that is a valid option too ? ..

[@CaspianWolf26]

can i adjust the camera to get front , back parallel projection ?

[@archduongdang]

Thanks a lot! Do you know if we can use the section without letting the sunlight comes to the interior? I just want to so the 3d section interior and I dont want to show the sunlight, the shadow of walls, columns. Thank you,

[@albertoramirez2005]

Excellent as always! I've playing with the Thickness control... well, as far as I can see, it creates a transition between the clipping plane and the model... I adjust it between 1-2 inches.

[@jacobsobelman3923]

Unfortunately when I add the section cube it doesn’t actually make a cut. I’m still able to move, rotate, and scale the cube, but even with the Enabled setting turned on it isn’t cutting through my model

[@yllkaqarri8010]

It is happening the same to me. It would be great if somebody knows the answer why!

[@felicedorso8328]

Same to me! Is not working!

[@jacobsobelman3923]

Alright so I did a google search and I figured it out! Twinmotion defaults at the low quality setting, but it needs to be on at least medium setting to show section cuts. I believe it’s under Preferences and then Quality Settings

[@felicedorso8328]

I'm gonna try, thank you so much 👍

[@felicedorso8328]

@@jacobsobelman3923 thanks I'm gonna try!!

[@_esdrassantos]

Thanks! Yes, the thickness creates a transition area, moving it to zero value will disapear the shading area on the borders.

Thanks a lot, I've trying to direct link from Sketchup with Plan Section for a long time !

[@sarakocevska3093]

Thanks for the video! I just cant find the camera tool in order to get a good top view in TM 2020... Do you have some advice please?

[@ragaiedwards1751]

Dear Justin, I am an architect from Melbourne Australia, I am following your great works in Twinmotion and I am learning a lot from your tutorials. I would like to ask if I can use the sectional cube to reach and arrange objects inside my building? or is there another method that will allow me to reach objects and re-arrange them in a sort of cutout full-floor, building plan layout? Thank you.

[@phielies]

is it possible to appy the section cube to selected objects? or does it only cut through everything? also, is it possible to animate the position/properties of the section tool? thanks :)

[@dimitrius8095]

Thank you for video! How can I make the ceiling material transparent to the camera, but this should stop the sunlight. I need the effect of light falling only from the windows.

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

No idea on this one

[@dimitrius8095]

@@TheRenderingEssentials :) maybe in the next version. I have only one idea, put the light in the windows.I want to get the effect as in vray or corona when you can see through ceiling without hard shadows....pin.it/daqcx5h6jnj52z

Great info....I love the new functionality you explore that is available in this FREE program....

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Really glad you liked it!

[@BenAerens]

How are you able to rotate(roll) your view like you did near the end of the video? I can't seem to find any documentation about a rolling rotate anywhere.

[@peterwillbert6009]

As usual, very helpful video. However, as an architectural practice, I would find it pretty pointless to send plans or sections to our clients if we are not able to export them to scale. Any chance Twinmotion provides this facility?

I did it but the walls that are cut appear as thin planes...the thickness of the walls is not seen after the section cubes cuts it

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Did you model your walls with thickness?

Yes ofcourse.. exported Revit model

Export your image to AutoCAD, then align a known measure in your render to the same line in your car drawing

where did they put the camera align tool in twinmotion 2020

Go to DOF, there is a Small bar at the top use it. there is the align

Hi, What if the section cube doesn't work on my model render. Maybe you know why?

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Nope - not without more info

[@iamcetyoo]

I just do what you say, every step of it. Tools, section,drop the the cube to make a section and Adjust the cube section with the scale Axis. But when i Start to pull it up or down, the model render won't cut like in the videos.maybe there some step i've been missed or some setting maybe.thank you.

[@Mcdblue88]

Does anybody have an idea why the section cut element disappears after I place it in my model and release it from my mouse? Same thing happens with all the light elements that I put in. They however remain in the list of things I have in the model (I am not sure what you call the list shown in the collapsible window on the right of screen). Other objects are fine like trees and people. Has anyone encountered this and found a solution? Thanks in advance :)

[@whiteshadow7892]

Thank you so much..🌝

[@threeforks9323]

The section box doesnt cut anything in my model, I have tried moving it up and down, sideways etc and it is definetly going through them but not cutting anything in either way. It is enabled, ive also tried changing the thickness even though I am not sure that would affect anything. What could I be doing wrong? Is it only assigned to a specific part?

It's a shame that you can't cut an individual object using the section tool. I hope it will be enabled in the next version.
