SectionTools plugin allows you to create dynamic sections and drawings to support modeling, drafting and fabrication workflows. SectionTools is now fully integrated into Rhino 8 for Windows and Mac and it has been updated to take advantage of the many new clipping and sectioning features in Rhino 8 …

I am much wiser today than yesterday and i am more confident to say that depth should be considered even for section drawing. Imagine a cross section of a road or railway with background. Now imagine that the stretch of a winding road is few kilometers. What will you see in the background? Huge amou…

Hi @rajaa everything clear with my reply about “origin” option Grip? I did not get any feedback about this. I think this to be a rather important feature to be added for a consistent use of sections in a drafting workflow. Thank you!

[image] Luca: everything clear with my reply about “origin” option Grip? I’ll experiment with it next week and see if we can come up with an option that is more consistent. Thanks for elaborating.

[image] Ivan Galik: I am much wiser today than yesterday and i am more confident to say that depth should be considered even for section drawing I added this request to the pile here… . Note that this is a Make2D feature because extracting background drawings use the same base code.

Could it also be considered that the level of detail visualization in the section could be defined?

How do you change the model space scale of the clipping plane label text in a detail view? For example, when I select a text object within a detail I can easily find the model space scale field. This option is either not available or not where it should be when you follow the same logic. Am I miss…

@nperillo.np Can you please share your model, and what version of Rhino are you using?

I’m using the most recent Rhino 8 Beta downloaded yesterday (8.0.23255.13163, 2023-09-12) Section Drafting Test.3dm (132.0 KB) It would also be very useful to have model space scaling for the hatch paterns. The below images are using the same section style settings but as you can see this scaling…
