\n Using this menu you can create cross-section views (clipping planes)
|
|
|
|
|
of your mesh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start, click on the \em New button.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Now you must specify what mode of creating plane you want to choose:
|
|
|
|
|
absolute or relative.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Absolute mode</b>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
- <b>Base point</b> - allows to define the coordinates of the base
|
|
|
|
|
point for the clipping plane.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <b>Reset</b> - returns the base point to coordinate origin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <b>Direction</b> - allows to define the orientation of the
|
|
|
|
|
clipping plane.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <b>Invert</b> - allows to select which part of the object will be
|
|
|
|
|
removed and which will remain after clipping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Relative mode</b>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\image html Clipping_Relative.png
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- \b Orientation ( ||X-Y, ||X-Z or ||Y-Z).
|
|
|
|
|
- \b Distance between the opposite extremities of the boundary box of
|
|
|
|
|
selected objects, if it is set to 0.5 the boundary box is split in two halves.
|
|
|
|
|
- \b Rotation (in angle degrees) <b>around X</b> (Y to Z) and <b>around
|
|
|
|
|
Y</b> (X to Z) (depending on the chosen Orientation)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The parameters of cross-section:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
List of <b>meshes, sub-meshes and groups</b> to which the cross-section will be applied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Select all</b> button allows to select and deselect all available
|
|
|
|
|
objects at once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the <b>Show preview</b> button is on, you can see the clipping plane
|
|
|
|
|
in the <b>3D Viewer</b>.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also there the possibility to interact directly with the clipping plane in 3D
|
|
|
|
|
view with mouse. User can change the parameters of clipping plane by dialog data
|
|
|
|
|
or by hand.

|
|
|
|
If the <b>Auto Apply</b> button is on, you can preview the
|
|
|
|
|
cross-section in the <b>3D Viewer</b>.

|
|
|
Also, it is possible to specify the type of clipping: using dataset,
|
|
|
|
|
i.e. it only changes the visibility of separate mesh cells or alternative
|
|
|
|
|
clipping - an OpenGL native one, which clips overall presentation.
|
|
|
|
|
For choosing use <b>OpenGL clipping</b> checkbox.
