Curic BoxView solves this structural design limitation by surrounding any chosen entity with a fully self-contained, editable cubic framework. Built around the robust , it acts as a lightweight mask that operates directly within your main workspace.
: Every side of the box features interactive drag handles. You can pull or push any of the six planes to compress or expand the viewable 3D region in real time.
It uses an Overlay + Edit Tool system, ensuring that it feels like a native SketchUp tool.
Curic BoxView does not reinvent the wheel; instead, it perfects it. It respects SketchUp's philosophy of simplicity while providing the precision control required for professional work. If you need to produce clean presentations, explore internal details, or simply model complex geometry without losing your place, .
Isolate a single room or floor level from a multi-story building model to show clients layout details without ceiling interference.
What you primarily model (e.g., residential architecture, custom furniture, large commercial layouts).
Box View solves this by enabling six-sided cutting, allowing you to create a "box" that hides everything outside its boundaries. This makes it perfect for:
: Use the visible handles to push or pull the six planes until you isolate the exact region you want to inspect.
The extension introduces true 3D section boxes to SketchUp, fundamentally transforming how architects and 3D modelers isolate, view, and edit complex geometry. For years, SketchUp users have relied on the native, linear section plane tool to cut through models. While useful, managing multiple native section planes often leads to cluttered workspaces, massive layers of ghost geometry, and disrupted modeling flows.
