Select your objects, click the BoxView icon, and drag the handles to start sectioning.
If you used the legacy version of Box View, the new release offers several distinct advantages:

Curic BoxView automates this entire workflow. The developer created the tool to manage the complex internal structure of groups and section planes automatically, allowing the user to interact with a simple box. The core innovation is a with a section plane at each level. However, the user never has to interact with or even perceive this complexity. The tool's "magic" is in how it handles entering and exiting levels automatically, making editing the inside of a section box feel as intuitive as double-clicking a standard SketchUp group.
BoxView brings "true 3D section boxes" to SketchUp, a feature common in software like Revit but historically missing from SketchUp's native tools. Select your objects, click the BoxView icon, and
If you want to optimize your SketchUp system further, let us know:
Since its release in November 2025, Curic BoxView has garnered positive attention within the SketchUp community for its ease of use. However, like any new tool, it has its strengths and limitations. The developer created the tool to manage the
By offering a six-plane orthogonal view that feels integrated rather than added-on, Curic BoxView addresses a long-standing request within the SketchUp community for true 3D section boxes. It transforms the model from a static object into a dynamic, "explorable" space where interiors can be dissected and refined in real-time.
For users who need surgical accuracy, BoxView also supports precise input. When a handle is selected, you can type an exact value directly into SketchUp's Value Control Box (VCB) to move a cut plane by a precise distance.
Redefining 3D Sections: Why Curic BoxView is a Game-Changer for SketchUp
The release of introduces a native-feeling 3D section box tool to SketchUp . Architects and 3D modelers often struggle with standard section planes when managing large-scale models. Traditional workarounds involve building complex nested group structures or stacking multiple section cuts across separate scenes. This new extension streamlines that process by offering a direct, interactive method to isolate, view, and edit geometry. Why Curic BoxView Changes the Sectioning Workflow
