Like a main body of a house on the second story and then a bonus over a lowered garage and the cut plane be able to catch the bonus that may be 2' lower than the main body?
Some of the homes in the community I work with have a severe drop in the garage and the bonus room ends up 2+ feet lower than the second floor. It would be nice to be able to split that cut plan and be able to lower it to catch that lower bonus over the dropped garage.
I have needed that option multiple times and I dont think that having that is an odd request. seems that is should be an option to be able to do that.
Attaching a pic of a floor plan, the bonus is 4' lower than the second floor, we had to cheat to get it to do what it shows.

I believe this has been wished for in the past, but would be difficult to implement. Also, see this post.

Have you tried saving 2 views of the same plan.
Each with a different floor plan cutting plane height to suit what you want to see.
Then place these views in the layout and crop them to show the areas you want and join them together as if they were one plan.
It would be nice to have a stepped cutting plane but I imagine it would be quite difficult to implement.
Especially if you didn't want the change in height to be a simple straight line in plan.
