If you'd like to learn a little more about Aidan and his new endeavor, check out Bitsbox. He birthed this blog, taught countless SketchUp classes, authored the SketchUp For Dummies book, and is a jolly fellow indeed. About the AuthorДЄidan was a beloved member of the SketchUp team for 10 years.

On the advice of an expert, I've taken that bit out. Update:В A previous edition of this blog post included some (bad) advice about waiting until you get to LayOut to assign orthographic views. VoilГ !Д®xtra Bonus:В This blog postВ from last year provides some suggestions for ways to pochГ© (fill in) your Section Cuts. If (after adding a new Section Cut) you want to hide all of your Section Plane objects, all you have to do is choose View>Section PlanesВ from the menu bar. The custom style you created doesnвЂ™t change, though as long as that style is applied to your scenes, and those scenes are assigned to your viewports in LayOut, everything should be fine.

Again, I covered the nuts and bolts of this process in this blog postВ from last year.Д®very time you add a new Section Cut, all of the existing Section Plane objects in your model become visible. The speed isnвЂ™t the same but feels the same, regardless of the size of the object. For instance, how quickly you zoom and pan is based on the distance to the object you hover and arenвЂ™t constant speeds in space.

With the right style applied to your sectional scenes, youвЂ™re ready to assign those scenes to different viewports in LayOut. SketchUp looks and feels the same whether you are modeling a chair or a house.

To make sure that the Sections style is applied to each scene, do this:ДЎ) Activate one of the Section Cut scenes by clicking its Scene Tab.Дў) Apply the Sections style by choosing it from the Select Tab in the Styles Manager.ДЈ) Right-click the current Scene Tab and choose Update Scene.Д¤) Repeat Steps 1 to 3 for each of your other Section Cut scenes. The 'Plan' and 'Section' scenes in my SketchUp model are set up to show different active Section Cuts.
