      It is not tested on SKP 2014. It may not work on that version.

      your file is a ruby file (rb) right? is there any difference with rbz file? since my sketchup cannot detect the rb file, only rbz

      exactly, the file is a .rb , what you need to do is to compress the file into a .zip file and after that's done, just rename it to "SectionCutFace.rbz" that's it
