Hi, Im trying to get a section view with contour lines of my object. I want to have sections that start at a specific point. What are some ways I can achieve this? Thanks
Hi @KyungS,
would the Contour component work for you? You need to set the geometry, the point to start the contours, the direction and the offset.

Hey Fernando,
I haven’t tried grasshopper yet, I’ll give this one a try thanks!
you can also use Contour without grasshopper it is a command in Rhino. but since you want to have them at specific points you can use CutPlane which will create surfaces at the exact points you want, then you use the intersect command. you can group the cutplanes and use SetObjectDisplayMode set to wire for instance to have them close but not distracting, or you put them on a layer or hide and just fetch them when you need.
there is also the command section, though i believe having prepared cutplanes which you can just intersect may be better since these will always stay at the same location.
Sorry, I did not realized about the Rhino category 
. Yes, what @encephalon said should also work.

Hello - you can use the Section command, or, make lines at the desired locations and Project these onto your object. History can be enabled to allow adjustment of the line locations. For non-vertical slices, you can use planes and the Intersect command.
