@Tom_P - sorry for the confusion - my fault. If the clipping plane is created from ClippingSections, it has more smarts and the array naming works. This is not explicitly mentioned on that page, that I can see… I’ll see if we can make that clearer. WWW-2303 Tune up to Sectioning web page -Pascal …

[image] Tom_P: what condition / option has to be set to get the names numeric part being incremented ? It seemed to have worked doing it like this: [image] How to get SERIALIZED sections using Array - Fabrication purposes Rhino Hi Xeon - I created a cl…

I tried different names for the clipping plane. - no success. Even if I copy the clipping-plane from the sample-File to a new file, it does not get named “incremental” any more when arrayed.

was anybody able to repeat the workflow from the tutorial in a blank document, units millimetres ? for example: new document clippingPlane → name it C_01 array (nx = 1, ny = 1, nz = 20) thanks for you comments

@pascal or @Gijs does this auto-naming of Clipping Planes work for you - or anybody else - in a new file. I don t get it to work. thanks for an update

just wanted to say, this is somehow a presales question from a customer. Just told him to be patient and stay with Rh7.

Hi Tom - I’ll give it a try. @Tom_P - the Array command never will change the name - (not a bad idea perhaps, but it does not) I think what you are after is SectionPlaneArray -Pascal

thanks for having a look. the description of above tutorial / feature-introduction claims: can you repeat the above tutorial on a blank file ? for SectionPlaneArray I do not get a autocomplete in the commandline (Version 8 (8.2.23346.13002, 2023-12-12) on mac intel)
