SJ SectionBox

V 1.0.0 - 2024/12/30
Initial Release
The SectionBox plugin by Simjoubert Tools allows you to place a section box with 1 to 6 nested section planes, providing precise and flexible control over cut views in your SketchUp models.
Accessing the Plugin:
From the menu: Extensions \ Simjoubert Tools \ SectionBox
From the toolbar: Sj SectionBox
Main Features:
SectionBox Creation
Place a SectionBox in the active path of your model.
Elements within this hierarchy are grouped into a "source" component, assigned to the SectionBox | Source layer.
Section Plane Management
Each face of the SectionBox is linked to a dedicated section plane.
These planes are paired with copies of the source component and organized into subgroups.
Subgroups are then gathered into a group called "result," assigned to the SectionBox | Result layer.
Dynamic Updates
An integrated observer automatically updates the section planes whenever the SectionBox is modified.
Advanced Commands
Reverse: Toggle the visibility direction of the section planes. By default, the outside of the box is visible. Use this command to switch the view.
Switch Active/Inactive: Activate or deactivate the SectionBox.
Inactive Mode: Restores the model to its initial state by removing the "result" group and exploding the source component. The SectionBox changes color to reflect its status.
Active Mode: Reactivate by selecting the SectionBox and clicking the command.
Customizable Sections
Configure a SectionBox with 1 to 6 faces to suit your needs.
An intuitive dialog box lets you define the name of the SectionBox, which will be used for naming the components, groups, and section planes generated by the plugin.
Multilingual Support
The plugin automatically adapts to SketchUp’s language, available in English and French.
With SJ SectionBox, streamline your SketchUp workflow and achieve precision through structured organization and dynamic tools tailored to your needs.
