Hello @fredo6 how are you.
I am writing to you about some differences I have had with the option of cutting the mesh.
Normally when one makes the cut on the surface, there are two options, the geodesic and the straight one.
In the case of Tools On Surface, it seems more like a geodesic cut, but I make comparisons with other software in AutoCAD and the difference is a lot.
I am passing it on to you in order to improve the plugin and make it better every day.
Geodesic cut.
A geodesic is a curve that represents in some sense the shortest path between two points on a surface.
Geodesic
I also wanted to request adding one more command, which would be the straight cut, I currently do it with another plugin, but I would not like to depend on third parties.
Cross section from two points or straight cut
Cross section takes two points as a cutting line and drops an imaginary vertical plane onto a surface. This is usually accomplished by viewing the surfaces from above in the XY view.
I attach an example file, so you can see the differences and the new function I requested.

Excuse my English, I only speak Spanish.
If you can't understand me, you can tell me and I will find a way to explain myself better.
If you need any collaboration from me on the topic of geodesics, you can tell me.
If you can help me with the issue, I appreciate it.
Thank you.
