I'm going to move the discussion on the new Section plug-in over to this thread.

I'll put the latest version here at the top post.

Instructions for installing a plug-in here.

I usually draw a line and use Construct > Curve > Project.

Seems there is a glitch!
When you press Done start volumes come back and nothing is sectioned!
But maybe i have missed something! :)

Hi Pilou, often times sectioning tools are used as a type of visual inspection mechanism.

The first draft here is focused on that type of use, I will add in a "create geometry" type option soon if it seems like this is going to work for what Rich was asking for.

Updated section tool attached.

Instructions for installing a plugin here.

If you want to use a different plane than world XY / XZ / YZ , set the construction plane (View > CPlane) before running.

Looks like this:
