      Hi .rb gurus!
      I really missing some simple (I hope!)routine
      that slices preselected geometry and then deletes unwanted portion
      1.mark cutting plane with 3 clicks (it should support SU Inference Cues)
      2.point portion to be deleted (1 click or(?) crossing window)-that's it!
      Unfortunately me stupido to write this ruby by myself 😞
      May be someone could help me (and I beleive other users)?
      Thanks in advance!

          You mean a slice-like Acad command ? (to split a solid or set of solids in 2 parts ?)

            in that example, it'd be cool if i could select where i want to slice (shown by the vertical flat plane) and then select which half i'd like to delete...

            being left with this...

              Hi Didier!
              Exactly- slice command (with 3 points option)
              You know for some reason (we all know why πŸ˜„) I don't make 3d in acad for years.
              So this morning I had to check how slice work in "black screen".
              P.S. I just thought... After procedure of slicing itself user could press escape
              for leaving both parts and alternatively 1 pick for deleting.
              Best wishes!

                I added this:
                http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3283
                to the SU Wish List a while ago.
                ...
                The ability to perform Boolean Operations (eg Union, Intersect, Subtract [ie slice])would give SU this ability.
                It would make SU extremely powerful.
                ...
                Keep your fingers crossed

                    Just to tag onto this thread in case some genius comes up w/ a Ruby (great faith in Google here also..;-) and add my interest.

                    The seven step work around (select/section/create group from slice/explode/delete plane/delete edges and surfaces on one side of the plane/heal the open end) is OK when we trim a rafter or three, but we need to animate a wind blown "explosion" and it would be great to find a Ruby that could slice and dice a group/component and leave the pieces or sections of the orig object grouped and intact.
                    ((If I understood how you all programmed these scripts, I'd probably know this is not easy, so my apologies in advance.))
