SketchUp Tips and Tricks: Animating Section Cuts

Animating sections cuts is very easy. Grab on the Section Plane tool and click in your model to place the section. I like to hide the actual section plane. With your section in place, add a scene tab. Grab the section plane tool again and place a section cut in a different location. Once again add a scene tab. Clicking between the two tabs will animate the cut. If you only want the scene tabs to animate the section cut and not save the camera view, you can specify that in the Scene Manager dialog.

window/ styles/ edges/ edit. select the wireframe box, uncheck display edges. You can shortcut this. Window/ Preferences/ shortcuts. Type in "display" to find View/Edge Style/ Display Edges. Assign a shortcut. On Windows click the "+"

then click OK. On Mac just assign a shortcut.
