Adding a section which is external to the section box also allows for multiplanar sections, which are also pretty standard in architecture:
A few requests:
- It would be great that there was an UI that allowed doing this kind of multiplanar sections automatically.
- There should be a way to toggle the sectionbox manipulator’s visibility.
- It would be also interesting that the section lines visibility was hidden. There is an API rendering option for that, but it’s flaky and Layout does not honor it. It would be great if Trimble would fix it. @ene_su you were interested in this when you were not on the Sketchup team, what about pushing it a bit?
