graphical appearance of 3D elements

[helmut]

let us have true horizontal sections for plan views;

let us have them within simple viewports without any workarounds like sectioned elevations on sheet layers - reduce the number of viewports and the complexity of drawing organisation thereby.

update viewports automatically.

let us define the horizontal section hight by layer (and by object where necessary).

in any kind of section (horizontal/vertical) let us show elements above or behind the section plane (those which are positioned behind the back of the viewer) in any line style we like (dashed, dotted, whatever) - without workarounds like two or more stacked viewports.

let us overwrite the line style of all types of objects in viewports;

at the moment the line style of extrudes/solids cannot be overwritten, we may change just their color.

this would be extremely important for any kind of free (not necessarily free form !) modeling (not based upon the standard elements like walls, floors etc) to be shown in different graphics if sectioned or lying behind the section plane.

Just let us have section viewports with any section plane we like. Not just only vertical or horizontal, just all possible planes in space.
