Odd section plane behavior all of a sudden

SketchUp Pro
1

I can go weeks at a time without quitting sketchup. I usually only do so if it seems to get glitchy.

So, it’s been open for a week or so, dozen open models I’m working on. One has 3 section planes in it that have been there for a long time, one each in x,y,&z that I move around as necessary.

I am now unable to click to select a section plane. This just started happening. I can select one with a crossing window, but a subsequent right click, which should bring up a context menu that would include erase or hide, just deselects the plane.

I can get rid of it by selecting it with the crossing plane and then hitting the delete key, but this is odd. If I bring a new section plane into the model, I AM able to select this. But, if I quit sketchup, upon reopening the section plane cannot be selected except as noted above.

I thought it might have been due to an old version of SectionCutFace being installed, but uninstalling didn’t correct the issue.

This is happening in v.24.0.598

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Not being able to figure this out, I reinstalled Sketchup. I trashed the previous Sketchup app folder, and the folder in Application Support (Mac), but may have missed others relevant system files.

With a fresh installation, the very same behavior occurs. No plugins other native SU ones.

I brought in a 2nd section plane. It is selectable. The original section is now selectable too.

Quit the program and reopen - both now cannot be selected other than crossing window.

I found this old post

but, resetting workspace did not change anything.

I opened the test, tried to move the cuts. A popup from Curic said the model has problems. I let the auto fix run and was able to move the cuts.

I was able to delete the section cut along the red axis using Select the Delete.

I was not able to delete the section cut along the green axis using the same steps.

However, doing a right click and then a delete worked.

I have encountered at least one bug in the past, where if SketchUp and/or macOS, have not been restarted in something like 30 days, a problem can show up. Can’t remember if it was to do with section planes, I will look for it later.

interesting that the Curic dialog came up if you don’t have the plugin installed

it’s working normally now and I have no idea what changed

it has regained normal behavior, although I have no idea what did it

I do have the Curic section installed.
