Editable marquee box

[jattt]

I would love if you could edit a marquee in 3D, like revit's section boxes.

Sometimes you want to show diagrams or drawings of the building cut on different sides, and this would be a useful tool for that.

Images below show the section box tool in Revit.

I use both Revit and Archicad daily, and while there are lots of stuff I miss from Archicad when using Revit, this might be the number one tool I'm missing from Revit in Archicad.

You can place irregular shaped marquees in the 3D window.

You can also use cutting planes in 3D, from any side, top, bottom and can even incline them.

And you can have more than one cutting plane.

Do these do what you want?

Hi Barry,

I know all of that. Am I able to have four active cutting planes at once, and move them around?
The issue with the marquee is that it's a lot less flexible going to plan and back and back again to change the marquee if it didnt look completely right and one side needs to be moved in sligthly. By having a visual "box" representing the 2D marquee that you could edit while in 3D, this process would be a lot quicker.

If I can have 4 cutting planes active at once without slowing down my model, but if not, then a "section box" like in Revit is exactly what I would want.
