I don't make many voxels these days, but I never did get to like the section editor. I still prefer the last version of the original voxel editor for its capabilities that have, in my opinion, never been surpassed. I just don't think that the SE feels right in its operations, it's too awkward in simple drawing because of its base code, so I have never made extensive use of it. The only real advantage in the SE is the multi sectioning, but this is nothing that can't be overcome with the old (but still fully functional) VxlUtil.exe made in the dark ages by Blade.

This raises an issue that has come up again and again in relation to voxels; the general opinion seems to think that bigger voxels are better voxels. Personally I see a single super-unit voxel as a decent thing in the right mod, but larger multi-section, single-frame voxels have repeatedly dissapointed me. The overlap is just too hard to overcome. They are memory hogs to render in game. They outscale the possible size for buildings in Red Alert 2. And besides, there is a level of detail that has been lost as voxels have gotten progressively larger, and it's the detail that makes voxels passable in the game. I have to be an oldie for this one; Will's first editor is the best.
