Hey Team,
I’d like to suggest a new feature for clipping planes in Rhino.
Right now, we have no control over clipping planes in terms of how far they are clipping the views. Their behavior right now is like an infinite plane cut. That’s all fine, but I would really like to see an option where we can control if we want the clipping plane to be an infinite cut, or we have a manual control (maybe with control points) of where we want the clipping plane to stop. This is partuclarly useful in archi…
Hi RMA team, (cc @rajaa , @dale )

But I think your solution of having limits set to clipping planes is a more elegant one and does not required creating another object.
