Interactive clipping plane

Question

In this question, How can I easily animate cutaway views on multiple objects? it was suggested to use the camera clipping distance as a cutting plane.

Is there a way to have an interactive cutting plane that is not parallel to the camera?

What is needed is a way to review complex geometry in real time by moving a cutting plate through the geometry in a way that does not necessarily line up with the camera view clipping planes.

LuxCoreRender has such a feature: https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/BlendLuxCore_CameraPanel#Clipping_Plane — B.Y.O.B., Sep 24 '18 at 17:37
@DuarteFarrajotaRamos I think this question is asking for an interactive/viewport solution. That question seems to be about doing this in a render. — gandalf3, Oct 03 '18 at 23:08

For use in the viewport, try the clipping border AltB:

This only works in wireframe or solid mode unfortunately – endolith Oct 06 '20 at 01:13
