Just a thought regarding the clip cube. I am fairly green to the clip cube so some of these suggestions may be possible, but I just haven't been able to figure it out yet.
1. Provide the ability to turn a clip cube into a 3D View, not just a section viewport. This could support the ability to create cool Section Perspectives that showcase a cut line while projecting the background in either an isometric or perspective view. When you try to create a 3d viewport from a clip cube view, the clip cube disappears and the entire model is present.
2. Solid modeling of the cut plane. When using the clip cube, it appears that its intersection with an object always shows the bounds of the objects as lines with the centers as voids. Rather, a way to use the class attribute fill or texture to close the shape and show a solid fill for the clipped objects.
3. A slightly more complex clip cube shape. This counters the idea of calling it a clip 'cube' but imagine a 2-plane cut-away 'L' clip cube line where details in 2 planes could be exposed and then communicated via comment #1.
