section planes

[Mor4us]

Hi,

found the time to play around with section planes. Technically it works really good, way better than in c4d itself. But I noticed a really bad drawback:
It's not possible to exclude single objects from the section plane

this makes this feature absolutely useless for now :-/

maybe this ist just a little thing in coding, but will make a really big difference for users

best regards
Markus

And if i activate "cull geometry", i would like to exclude my area lights from being deleted.

Ah yeah, I ran into the area light problem. Very annoying. Will have a look at fixing.

mesh emitter on the "wrong side" of the section plane for example.

I would suggest that a "section mesh would be a interesting option, so you would have way more control.
Stuff like this here (named "Bounded Section Planes") would be posible:
