Thanks Marc for the visual explanation.

So Max I guess you'll be able to get that kind of result by doing a boolean difference with the line to slice the object up, delete the half you don't want to see and then use the new hidden line removal to get the view of it that you want.

It would be a pretty complex feature to try and bundle those things up into one single command. Things like this are usually a lot more complicated than many people guess.

Are these things you want to generate this on always solids?

You probably also want something like a hatch pattern placed on the sectioned plane too. You might also look into SpaceClaim for generating something like that also.
