  }
}

@rajaa - is this for you?

@dale UpdateClippingDrawings is a command inside SectionTools plugin, so it cannot be exposed in RhinoCommon, or is there a way to do that?

Can you please share an example that freezes Rhino when run the script?

Hi @rajaa, this example causes Grasshopper and Rhino to freeze when updating from the bottom(:white_square_button:)

If I put a debug point inside your script, and click the button, the script keep running as though in a loop, and perhaps this is why GH seems to be frozen. @eirannejad any thoughts if it is a code editor issue?
