section planes

hi,

as I am using sketchup and I want to use skindigo to make render of the sliced model,
so I apply a section plane in sketchup, which makes the part at the one side of the plane invisble,
this view I want to render using indigo,

but it renders the entire model again, like there was no section plane applied,

is there any chance someone can help me?

yo

afaik skindigo doesn t, but there is a plugin that you can download to slice your model in two parts thanks to this section plane, and plus, you can add faces to cap the sections holes.

this is the way i do atm.
you can find it on sketchucation.

There is no rendering engine that supports SketchUp section planes. However, there is a plugin available called 'Zorro2' (written by me) that will allow you to render a section plane. It is available at Sketchucation.
