A command to cut an item (beam or plate) at a desired line rather than using the “polygon cut” or “shorten to UCS” command, which requires you to change the UCS to the cutting plane then cut the item.
With this command the current view’s Z axis would determine the cutting plane.
Instead of using the current view's Z axis I would use the z axis of the current ucs as one vector of the cut plane the other is defined by the picked line. This way you can work in an isometric view. The ucs is set easily to the ucs of a beam or plate and also the ucs can be set easily to the current view. You would have more options this way. What also is an option is to define which side to cut off, either by the picked side or by selecting a side of the cut line.
I want to be able to draw a line and cut the beam to that line. In ASD there were two commands "Cut by Line" and "Cut by Polyline" that made the process very quick. There are multiple options in Advance Steel that I have found to accomplish this but not quite as simple. I'm still somewhat new to Advance Steel so if I am missing an easier method, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Christian, did that command end up being put into the app store?
I had previously seen your video showcasing that function and at the time was very hopeful in that command but as the comments showed everyone was left in the dark as to where to find this command and its not until I see your explanation in this thread explaining that it was your own personnel command you were developing. With that being said can you please add a note into the notes of that video explaining is is not available as it was extremely frustrating and misleading.
