Hi, I just spent some time with the new V8 feature of allowing clipping plane object exclusions in different modes. Seems like the hardest part is done, works quite nice and will be very useful in many situations. I am sure this is still an early implementation and UI needs more work, but here is s…

[image] Jarek: Eventually please add command line access in Properties command to be able to set this us via macros. Same with for scripting access to these new clipping properties All of this is already available in RhinoCommon. Do you need macro scripting access?
