cutting section and editable poly

[carlotristan3d]

Is there a way to cut a section in max similar to functions available in sketchup? I tried a camera with orthographic projection on and viewport clipping across the building. but i can't get a true section, only an orthographic view. Also how do I collapse a group into editable poly? Any tip would be much welcome.

how I did them in the past (not that I do it often) was select the relevant geometry and applied a singular slice modifier. Not every elegant but yeah. Slice plus remove top or bottom.

thanks. grouped the whole bldg and apply a slice modifier. as you said, not very elegant but that'll do. thanks again.

There's a Soulburn script (my favourite of the lot, actually) to combine a selection into an object.
