Hi Olfa,
I'm not aware of a native transformer that creates cross-sections, however it's something I've been looking at. My idea was was to rotate the plans, so that the Z axis from which to draw the section was planar across the horizontal x/y axis. Once this is achieved you could potentially use the Neighborhood Finder to join up the geometry. As I said, I haven't achieved it yet, but be interested to know if others have suggestions in this area.

Olfa, there isn't really a method of cutting a cross section through objects, but one approach which I have used is to drape lines on a surface. This will give you a top level cross section, and would be suitable for a DTM or similar. The process is BoundingBoxAccumulator > Tiler > CentrelineReplacer > SurfaceModeller (drape) > and CoordinateSwapper to get side view.
