The first thing that comes into my mind is create a reference solid covering all objects behind the plane, and then check interference of the complete assembly with this solid... Hope that helped

This is an interesting problem. Can you provide a little more detail about exactly what it is you need?

I Want to identify all the assembly components that are positioned behind or in the front of a given plane.

once i have those components i will be able to supress them and create a level of detail, in this way i dont have to select components one by one in large assemblys. and i'm saving a lot of time.

thanks.
