Hi Jason, there isn't any kind of clipping plane display mode, but it is possible to generate section curve objects.

You can do that by drawing a line, then replicating that line using Transform > Array > Dir so that you have a number of parallel line segments, and then use the Construct > Curve > Project command to project those lines onto the object, that will result in curves that are planar sections of the object.

Also another way is if you create a plane object that cuts through your object, and then replicate that, then use the Construct > Curve > Isect command to intersect those planes and your object, giving back the curves of intersection.

That's great. Thanks Michael.

Any chance we could see something more dynamic like clip plane?

That could be possible in the future, but I'm not exactly sure when that would happen though.
