I'm having problems rendering sections in sketchup with Enscape.
See how it shows at the image in attachement.
The slabs are hollow.
Need help

Have you tried the "Scalp" plugin?

The way SketchUp closes solids when sectioning them is visual trickery within SketchUp itself, there is NO actual faces there, you'll notice that if the object being sectioned ISNT a solid then Sketchup won't generate the fake face and it'll appear hollow.
As there is no actual geometry closing the face Enscape cant render it and you get what you're seeing, ie, open ends of cut objects.
TIG has a plugin that will generate a face(s) where a section cuts ... I f remember its called 'Section Cut Face' and once the plugin is installed you simply right click on the section and select 'Generate cut face' (or something like that) and you'll get new geometry on its own Tag/Layer ... It'll often need cleaning up. Scalp that Epix3D mentioned is more powerful but costs.

Paul Russam , perfectly said, thanks!
Perhaps in the future, there may be a way to receive additional geometry information natively from SketchUp, through which we could then also create a more realistic lighting/shadow casting output for section cuts, but this may very well be something they would have to add so we could make use of it in the first place. I'll forward your feedback goncalo.t3 in any case, thanks.
