Add "Section View" tool for temporary cutaway view
« on: February 08, 2013, 12:29:57 AM »
Since most of the objects I am creating are not planar, I am finding that when I use the selection tools to delete faces I do not want, I often end up selecting the front faces as well as the back faces of my model. Other software I have used avoid this by using a section view tool that will allow you to make a temporary cutaway. This can be done by moving or rotating a plane to the position you want and everything on one side of the plane is hidden from view. Something like this would allow the current selection tool to work more effectively and would also allow you to more control to look at certain "hard to get to" faces on the model.
