It appears that VaSections only orient themselves to World>Top View. Is this correct?

Hi @djhg , yes, that’s correct. Would you like to create sections from not vertical planes? or what would you like to do?

It’s not unusual to need a section perpendicular to a curving plane. In this case it was an arcing metal entrance gate of decorative metal. I imagined I could establish a new cplane oriented to the arch at the desired section point, but the section reverts to World Top. The work around was to itera…

Hi @djhg , the option to create not vertical sections is already in our wishlist. And it is also the option to have section attributes on geometry when using clipping planes. So either of these options would help you in this case.

David - [image] djhg: In my experience clipping planes almost never display solid section fills. As always, if you provide a simple sample that only uses out-of-the-box functionality for Rhino, I’ll be happy to take a look and check if I see the same here. -wim

Thanks Wim. I’ve spent many an hour experimenting with fills and clipping planes. Sometimes it works, but it never lasts. Because of this inconsistency, posting a simple experiment is problematic, but over the years I’ve provided a few. I don’t think Va interferes. In fact the only reliable method I…

David - [image] djhg: If you’re having consistent success with clipped fills, please let me know and I’ll make it a priority to explore this yet again. Thanks. Yes, I’m having consistent success with clipped fills. I have spent a lot of time looking at the samples that you have provided in t…

[image] wim: Thanks. Yes, I’m having consistent success with clipped fills. I have spent a lot of time looking at the samples that you have provided in the past and was always unsuccessful in making them misbehave on my end. Mysterious as that seems, it’s good to know. It may not necessarily…
