I have a drive system assembly created in Assenbly4

It is composed of eight parts which connect along the long cylindrical axis. It would be really great if I could slice the assembly on a plane along that axis like

but cross_sectionFCMacro doesn't like assemblies.

It would be especially great if I could move the slicing plane interactively.

I am hoping ...

Can you post to the Assembly subforum next time?
Also please x-post to the main A4 thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=34806

I am a bit confused.
The cross_section macro is not part of Assembly4. That's why I posted it to the page that handles feature requests.

I didn't know that sub-forum existed but it seems to be the right place.
Thanks

why not use the built in cross section cut?

why not use the built in cross section cut?

Do you mean that one? It has been added in not-yet-released 0.20, but the OP is using 0.19.

[adrianinsaval]

feature requests should be done considering the current state of development not latest stable so my point stands
