Display mesh cut fill in plan views

Hi guys

Not sure I put this in the right topic, but here it goes.
I am working on a project which is situsted on a steep slope and also has multiple stories ( 7-8 sets of plans).
For setting up my drawings together on one large board I would like to display the cut-fill of the mesh terrain on each story, so that you see where the plan section cuts through the mesh on each level. Is that possible?

I set the mesh to be displayed as a solid body, and played around with the cut fill and floor plan settings, but no luck so far. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you!!

If you want to have a dynamic site you have to use the morph or convert your mesh to a morph.
Or you can use the mesh for 3D visualization and use lines and fills for floor plan representations.

I think I will copy the mesh, convert it to a morph and use it to draw fills for the plans. (This landscape is just so complex that I need some kind of a guide to see where it is cut.)
