Box,

[highlight=#ffffbf:2tbwvd69]"Ideally you want Zorro to use the selection fence as a cutting plane. Would be a very handy tool."[/highlight:2tbwvd69]

I couldn't have described it better. With all the groups and components and layers, any native tools or existing plugins just doesn't do it. Even zorro2 when I cut through the model leaves some elements behind, not sure why.

rv1974,

Thank you for your suggestions I will definitely look into it

Oh and I tried using the native tools such as intersect with model, or plugins like zorro2, etc etc. But its just too tedious. I was hoping there was a plugin that would automate it with just the click of a button.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply! But unless I misunderstood you, I don't think you got what I meant. Sorry, maybe I didn't phrase my question properly. I've attached an image below to better explain what I was trying to say.

I was hoping to find a plugin that deletes everything outside the box in RED, and leaves whatever is inside the box. This is almost like several section cuts that deletes everything behind it - doesn't matter if the model has groups/components/etc etc, the plugin would automate this for you and delete everything outside the box.

Is there such a plugin?

Thanks for your time!

Hi All,

I've been a member of this forum for a long time, but this is my first post.

I've been looking for a plugin that can select an area in a model (via geometry such as a cube) and delete anything else outside the geometry/boundary. The reason being I have a huge landscape model of a city but I want to zoom into a certain area and delete the rest of the model as the file is too huge. The entire model is really huge with lots of layers and blocks.

The closest thing I could find was Zorro but even this didnt work as expected. And I had to do a few section lines to delete the rest of the model.

Any plugins available that does this? Or anyone keen on developing a plugin with this idea?

Thanks!
