ClipControls
Description of the problem
There is a module called ClipControls which obviously was created for a BIM project, hence the name of the .js file BIMClipControl2.js. Problem is that it's a component probably for react. Is there a regular feature planed? I'm having trouble extending the planeHelper class with said features. ...

Can you provide a link to the BIMClipControl2.js file?
Nope, there is no plan to explicitly support BIM use cases with xeogl. Reason for this is that xeogl is MIT licensed, which is not sustainable since it's a giveaway (ie. it's rare to get any contributions back).
For BIM support, consider xeokit SDK which is dual-licensed (GPLV3 for non-commercial use, with paid license for commercial use). As a result, it has good traction and I'm able to actively develop it because we have users who are helping sustain it through paid licenses, sponsorship and code contributions.
Find an example of a working clip control component in development on xeokit SDK here: https://xeokit.github.io/xeokit-sdk/examples/#gizmos_SectionPlanesPlugin
Hey, thanks for the quick answer,
the file I am refering to is found in the api docs on xeogl.org http://xeogl.org/docs/files/_home_lindsay_xeolabs_xeogl-next_xeogl_examples_js_controls_BIMClipControl2.js.html#l1
I dont need the BIM support per se, just want to use the ClipControl (as found in the api section) to have some dynamic control over the position of the clipping plane.
