| Feature | | Curic Section View | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Primary Focus | 3D exploration, isolation, and perspective cutaways. | 2D documentation, linework, and detailed sectional analysis. | | Manipulation | Six interactive 3D drag handles for an immersive experience. | Standard plane-based setup, often with more automated management. | | Best For | Quickly checking model interiors, rendering realistic cutaways, focused 3D modeling. | Creating precise architectural plans, sections, and elevations for export. |

: Create a bounding box around any selected group, component, or entity to instantly isolate it. Interactive Drag Handles : Use the standard SketchUp Select Tool

The extension introduces true 3D section boxes directly into SketchUp. Developed by Hai Vo of curic.io, this utility eliminates the tedious workflow of manually placing and managing individual native section planes. By creating a lightweight, non-destructive boundary around components or raw geometry, users can isolate, slice, and edit specific areas of complex 3D models with minimal effort.

Many users ask: Why buy this when I can use Section Planes or Cutaway views?

Designed for SketchUp 2023 and newer versions. Platform: Available for both Windows and macOS .

If you need to check the local modifications against the macro project view, toggle the cuts off via the context menu without losing your placement settings. Once your visualization or modeling tasks are finished, use the command to safely dissolve the wrapper, leaving your model clean and clear of stray geometry.

Curic BoxView is a powerful, dynamic 3D sectioning plugin for SketchUp. It is designed to act as a wrapper around the native SketchUp section tools, providing an intuitive, interactive "box" that cuts through your model in all six directions (top, bottom, left, right, front, back).

, released in late 2025, has redefined how SketchUp users interact with complex models . As a premier extension for isolating and examining specific parts of a design, this new tool streamlines the formerly clunky process of 3D sectioning into a fast, intuitive experience.

You can save specific cut states to individual Scenes within SketchUp. This makes it highly effective for creating focused views for LayOut presentations.
