Generate horizontal cross section plots using python

Question

I would like to generate output plots showing a horizontal cross section showing the pase displacements in z-direction at a defined level in Plaxis 3D using the scripting server. Is there a way to do this, what is the command? I also tried to generate plots from the deformed mesh, is this possible in Plaxis 3D?

Dear Brian, 
 One thing to comment, as from your description it is not clear what the failure message is, is to check for which Plots object you try to configure. 
 The object Plots[-1] always points to the lastly created plot in Output. To give you an example: 
 
 When opening a project in Output by default you get the deformed mesh, which is now the Plots[-1] 
 When creating a cross-section a new plot object is created and you see a different window loaded in Output, so: Deformed mesh is: Plots[-2] or Plots[0] Cross-section is: Plots[-1] or Plots[1] 
 That logic continues, when opening a different project or you create a structureplot, too. 
 
 If you cannot figure out why your script does not do what you need, we can further assist you in a service request. Note that as we do not do code reviews in support, we can check the PLAXIS commands and their Python equivalents that work as intended.
