Typically, we will graphically render the plane of the slice differently than the surrounding elements or those elements that appear off in the distance, and this can be done by applying a bold line weight around the outline where the cut occurs. We've already seen examples of this. We also often see the plane of the slice being rendered with some sort of a crosshatch or fill pattern. Now, I'd like to do a demonstration.
