SO-18 NEW Section ObjectOne other thing that would be wonderful would be if a Savvy Section Symbol Folder was to be created in the file the first time the tool was used.

SO-33 Fixed Section ObjectWhen exporting to VW2010 (I also tested with exporting to v12), the section object only appears as its insertion point. The actual section of the object doesn't appear. All of the relevant classes are turned on (Symbols-Section, etc.) I'm unsure if there is a workaround, a bug, or a limitation of the plug-in, but several theatres I draft plots for aren't using the same version of Vectorworks as I am, so if this is a limitation I probably won't be able to use this plug-in in those cases.
SO-17 Fixed RegistrationRegistration numbers would not validate for some users
SO-24 Fixed RegistrationDemo codes can now be used with non-US systems.
SO-28 Fixed Section ObjectWhen using metric units, top hats were malformed in angled front view.
