Hi Mike,

I'm not really understanding how this would work, could you maybe describe in some more detail what an "independent planar section" would be?

The sync points will work in combination with planar sections already... When you set up sync points the blend will have a section right at those points.

Do you mean something like defining a new "up" direction at that location that's different than the main "up" direction? That would probably be quite complex, both in the UI for managing all kinds of different directions and also controlling how they ease-in/ease-out from the other ones.

Maybe in v4...
