Slicing a model in Grasshopper?

Is it possible to slice through a model in Grasshopper. I know of the wirecut tool in Rhino. This is a great tool but only works on a single polysurface at a time.

 

Also there is the section tools for Rhino which are great for producing 2d and 3d drawings but there is no "Bake" type feature that allows exporting the cut geometry. When you try to export you just get the whole model.

 

Is there any way of slicing through a group or a selection of objects in grasshopper or a plugin which is akin to the wirecut?

 

If anyone has used the slice tool in 3ds Max, this is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt.

    This illustrates a method that might work for you.  The geometry here is a box within a box and a sphere partially within a box.  You could create multiple sections by using a series component input or a list input in place of the slider shown.  I'm not familiar with 3ds Max.

       Matt Harrisson,

      did you eventually succeed?
