live 3d section video?

Anonymous

Is there a way, in AC11 or any other program, to take a model (made in AC11) and create a rendered movie of a section plane moving through the building?

In effect, much like moving a section plane through a model in SketchUp, but with the graphical output rendered rather than like SketchUp...

I noticed in Artlantis this could possibly be done quite simply, but I need to only cut one building of many on a site, not the whole thing...any thoughts?
'Green screen' (also known as 'chroma key'). Generate two videos and merge them in your video editor.

You ca do it in Artlantis
In animation if you first must activate the Clipping Box (for defining clipping planes)
At the beginning of animation you can set the cutting plane at lower height (1 meter) over ground level and at finish at full building height.
The resulted animation show how the building grows from ground to roof.
THE SAME FOR THE MOBILE SECTION BY MOVING THE CLIPPING BOX POSITION BETWEEN THE FIRST FRAME - AND THE LAST ONE
