CuttingPlaneGroup: visible planes and manipulators

When using the Plane3D function on a loaded 3DS model, objects are still shown on the screen.

Would be nice that the cutting plane can show a rectangle or transparent.

Also a option to move it would be great.

I would prefer to bind the planes to other Visual3D objects, otherwise a lot of properties may be duplicated (width, height, fill color, frame color, orientation of the plane, which manipulators to enable (translate, rotate) etc.).

As i understand all these objects must be in the CuttingPlaneGroup, can you please elaborate how this can be done.

I can move the planes that cut the objects but how can i bind it to a rectangle of some sort that displays the cutting plane ?

I think some refactoring of the implementation of the CuttingPlanes property is necessary here...

The CuttingPlanes property should be an observable collection, the cutting plane objects should be DependencyObjects, and added to the visual tree (to allow binding, but without any visible geometry)
