When importing a OBJ or 3DS I get groups and/or all separate componets (none duplicated) Well, that kind of stinks, doesn't it? Since most of what I draw doesn't exist in another format, I guess I've not run into that problem. Sometimes I import CAD files and they come in as component but I rarely want them the way they are when imported. It's interesting how different disciplines run into different issues.

Yes, it really is a useful tool, I'm just thinking about how much it could shorten the modelling process for me in some situations. Thanks again!

The plugin Zoro2 has an option to delete using a section plane.

Hi folks. For an idea about how to create a plane that is perpendicular to any line, see this SU file. Plane perpendicular to line.skp
