while most of our cloud models are on the BIM 360 environment, we are often switching between Enscape and the cloud model to generate these section plane cuts. Having to not switch would fine tune the presentation of our models.

But would you prefer that the hidden geometry is still respected for light calculations? Yes

We frequently use enscape to “walk through” projects live with clients. We can get a similar effect with section boxes, but some of our models get to be so complex that workflow is too slow to use live.

whilst clipping plane seems to work ok in rhino and enscape, it would be good if it capped the voids in the model rather than looking inside. You have to actually cut the model if you want the sunlight to work correctly as it treats it like the bu...

Yes - being able to get the benefits from a section plane and still show shadows correctly is critical for good design evaluations and presentation.

Would be really useful for creating rendered sections, etc. I think light should still respect hidden geometry by default, for accurate atmospherics in sections/plans, but maybe there could be an option to have shadows behave both ways?
