Users can quickly toggle the section cuts on or off without needing to delete the box entirely.
The original plugin could feel sluggish on models with millions of edges. The new version uses a lightweight OpenGL overlay rather than modifying the camera matrix directly. The result? Butter-smooth navigation even on imported CAD-heavy files or textured landscape models. curic box view new

Managing section planes inside complex models has historically been a bottle-neck for SketchUp power-users. Native section cuts cross your entire workspace horizontally or vertically, which limits your ability to view localized spaces. If you wanted to view a small bathroom nestled deeply inside a multi-story hotel model, you were forced to hide walls manually, build a complex maze of nested groups, or set up overlapping native section cuts.
Unlike SketchUp's native section planes, which only cut on a single axis, BoxView creates (top, bottom, left, right, front, back). Users can select the box and directly drag its handles using the native Select Tool to adjust the cutting boundaries in real time. This avoids the disruption of switching between different tools.
