90-degree cuts

Hello fellow 3dm3 users

Is there any way to make cuts that are exact 90-degrees from an edge?

Look at attachment for better explanation. (where the green line represent the cut line i want and the red thingy is the 90-degree symbol.)

Try use sliceplane. You can find it under Modify toolbox, edge, and scroll down till you see it. Then use Angle Snap Tool and rotate the plane as you want and press Slice when the plane is in place

or you can cut any angle and then using X,Y,Z planar maker in Edit Geometry rollout of vertices or edges. (i do it that way and its really fast, when you get used to it)
the only bad thing is that it can mess up mapping
the good thing is that it dont add any redundant edges that you maybe dont want
