Description
Target Use case
A 'Cut Away'. effect for landscapes is a popular way to work with terrain data. Whilst we can do some of this effect by setting bounds, some additional paramters that could be passed into the later would be really helpful.
Implementation details for this in the ESRI JS framework are available here

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked ESRI JS framework examples and the ski-resort-map repository to understand the proposed cut-away terrain effect. Then locate deck.gl's terrain layer implementation and determine how mesh walls or customisation hooks could fit. Done means a supported wall or customisation capability, with tests and documentation updates as appropriate.
