If you mean one of those views that is either a cross section of a MOC, or
one where the pieces are in something like a correct orientation except that
there is substantial gaps between the elements, then I am pretty sure that
there is no automatic way to achieve these effects. The latter description
could be achieved by placing the elements in those orientations to begin
with though...

From what I gather on the Ldraw.org pages, MLCAD is the favorite but not by
much. LEOCAD has some interesting features, but it tends to lockup slightly
for me whereas MLCAD never does -- so I mainly use MLCAD. Ultimately, one
must choose a tool by trying both because everyone's choices are slightly
different and opinions are like ********, everyone has one. I think LEOCAD
also has a Linux flavor which may matter to those Linux inclined.
