Hi redmonki, if I understand your problem, you need the plan section of the terrain that reflect the cutting height at a specific floor, as ad example for a completely or partial underground floor(a building partially nested into a sloped hill is the most famous example),
in this case I use a workaround, mixing two view on layout, the architectural floor plan, from plan view and the sitework(using layer combination) from a 3d cutted view, to reflect the real situation at a given height,
clearly this is a workaround and a better management of the terrain would be very welcome, anyway i found better to maintain the mesh instead of transformation into a morph.
About AC24, only dev and betatester know....for now the only clear thing is the addition of the MEP modeler and a substantial delay compared to last year

What do you mean? ARCHICAD 23 came out in September last year.
@redmonki
The best trick I know is using a Morph plane @ the cutting plane height and doing a SEO with the mesh being the operator (!) and the morph the target. Op is set to intersection
You will be amazed how great that works!

Our office has been struggling with meshes and their representation in plan specifically the cut plane through the mesh. The work around of creating morphs and subsequent fills is really tiresome given the size of the sites we are working on and the design iterations we move through. . . .
Still looking?
