Arch SectionPlane

Description
This tool places in the current Document a section plane gizmo, which defines a section or view plane. The gizmo can be relocated and reoriented by moving and rotating it, until it describes the 2D view you want to obtain. If the tool is used with no other object selected, all objects from the scene will be included in its 2D output. If some objects are selected, then the 2D view will only consider those objects.

Objects can later be added or removed from a SectionPlane object with the Arch Add and Arch Remove tools.

Upon creation, SectionPlane objects currently create a Drawing Page object which contains the 2D projected view of the objects considered by the Section Plane.



The above image shows on the left a Section Plane object being placed in the scene, and on the right its SVG 2D output. Face sorting is still not fully implemented.
