Hey OWZONE,

I guess there is a complex VEX solution. But Im a simple man so here is a setup using a loop. It works for straight cuts only atm. If you need angled cuts you need to calculate the orientation of each edge. A bit more complicated but doable.

Cheers

Hi
I tried a more-procedural way. I guess it might be faster.

Interesting... I didn't know about PolyScalpel. Looks like an exotic node. Would you mind sharing the hip file or the parameters on PolyScalpel?
