How can i create this layered effect using a solid shape. pics inside

hey guys,

 

am just wondering if it is possible to create a solid object then chop it up later to create a layered effect. See pics... How is this done??

One way would be to use the section spline object. Just place it, arrange it along the Z axis, and attach them together. For example, you can create a spline anywhere in the scene, go to attach multiple in its edit spline dialog, and choose these section objects.
