Hi

I should made a Cut through a Building. But the SketchUp Tool "Section Plane" is not supported by Maxwell render, or i do something wrong.
If it's not supportet, it would be great, if it will be in the future.

I just told, i should made a cross-section of a house. The light should also not comming through the intersection plane, but just through openings such as windows.

Of the same 3D Building i should have also normal indoor images without the cut.

How would you to this? Just make two files one with a cut, made manually (grrrr. each object, Layer, Group manually cut) and one file without the cut?
The Workflow is bad. If i have a change in the building, i have to correct it two times!!

Is there an other Possibility?

Thank's for Answer

Greetings Michel

I do not know SketchUp plugin very well, but the Maxwell itself supports thing called "ZClip". From a manual:

ZClip planes allow you to cut away parts of the geometry in a render by specifying the near and far clipping planes of the camera...

Edit:
And now I found in manual for SketchUp plugin that ZClip is supported by the plugin.
