Fantastic tool!

Maybe it could live in the "view" Tab ?

Hi,

Very impressive function.
I don't know how I will use it and exploit this potential but I will find...

I have questions :

When I select a surface of a solid or joinedSurf and use "Section", MoI respond "Select solids to section". --- > Normal

When I select a curve and use "Section", MoI respond "Select solids to section". --- > Normal

When I select a lonely single surface and use "Section", MoI respond with an error :

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'bbox.center.x')
Section.js line 87
MoI avoid the view of the surface (not deleted but not visible since moved or save/reload.

Is it possible that MoI respond with "Select solids to section"

And when I use "Section" on a joined surface, the result could be strange because MoI have problems to know how to cut.
Perhaps could You limit the use of Secition only on solid and deny all other type of objects ?

"""""""""""""""I'm thinking maybe it could get an icon on the View tab in the side pane"""""""""""

Thanks for the section command. It is a useful tool indeed. Often, I find myself drawing a straight line in one of the parallel views, then using that line to generate a projected curve on my objects for cutting faces or detailing. This requires some trial and error to get the best result.

I am wondering if it is possible to have the "Section Plane" outlines generate pseudo-projected lines on objects, as these results are much cleaner than standard projected lines. I believe an "outline" mode would be a great fit for this command.

Additionally, if you agree that an "outline" mode would be beneficial, it would be useful to have a way to retain both the object and the section outputs, as they can be used to construct curves for further modeling.
options such as: [None, Keep Section Geometry, Keep All].

Michael,
A small anomaly for you to investigate before you get too deep.

Some of the "inner snaps" are missing on s simple object at first creation
