In YASARA you can easily create cut-planes, that clip part of an object away and let you look inside. The most prominent application is to cut surfaces open, as shown in figure 1.

Cut-planes can be rotated and shifted interactively, and you can combine multiple cut-planes to create convex, as well as concave clipping objects. The movie in figure 2 shows a few of the possibilities.
