Hi,

is there a limitation of the size of a model you can have a section view.  
I have modeled a house and I can’t have a section view, it gives me a projection failed error.  
my best,

Je

Hello! There is no limitation set, the issue must be something else. Could you please share the Shapr3D Design with us at: [https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)

I’ve tried to use the old method by projecting on a plane to export as a sketch.  
but it fails too.  
here is a video capture

Thanks,  
I think the projection and sectioning issues are two different cases. The model you have uploaded is a much simpler one, it can be sectioned. Projection fails I can confirm, let us investigate it.

In the meantime, if you could send us the original file by opening a support ticket, I’d be happy to check why sectioning fails.
