This already exists.

Hello Everyone,
Actually, that already exists! PROJECT2 has 4 versions by now ( PROJECT2 - PROJECT2{4} ), each a little more enhanced than the other. The latest version, PROJECT2{4} is specifically designed to give the user control over cutting planes and different displays between them. Of course this can be used with a single horizontal cutting plane, and a different display setting above and below this plane (and of course the cut surface).
Here's a guide for how to use it:
http://gdl.graphisoft.com/tips-and-tricks/using-project24-command
If you just set one cut plane to any height, and then set the masks and modifiers to display things below visible, and above with hidden lines (wireframe), then it gets the job done. At first it might seem a little complicated, but you only have to set it up once, and you can just copy it to any of your objects. With the right globals and requests you can also set it to be aware of cut plane and story height!
Regards,
