I have a complex model that i would like to cut in half, but it is composed of many groups and components. Can the section tool make a permanent cut to the model, eracing the invisible half? The split function only works with individual solids.

For now the only way I've been able to do this is to explode the entire model (with some unwanted results), intersecting the model with a box shape, then manually eracing the unwanted half. In some cases, exploding the model makes it to hard for my computer to manage the model.

Any suggestions or ideas?
