**Issue:**  
When I create a clipping section, the naming convention `SEC_` is ignored. Instead, every clipping section is automatically named **“V-Ray Clipping Plane”**.

**Question:**  
How can I disable this automatic naming and ensure that the clipping sections follow my custom naming convention, starting with `SEC_`?

Hi Tom -

I take it that issue goes away when you disable V-Ray in the plug-in manager and restart Rhino?
