Slice of Shapes by Plane Is Available in FreestyleWhat is the benefit of this enhancement?
In addition to the existing mesh slicing functionality, you can slice one or more shapes by an existing datum plane or by creating a datum plane on the fly. The selected plane must intersect with the shapes that you want to slice.
The imported datum objects can be made symmetrical using the Mesh Slice and Mirror commands. After slicing, delete the imperfect sliced shape, and then mirror the perfect sliced shape to achieve symmetry.
