Menu : DISPLAY

Command: View:Define Clips

Shortcut : None

The command DISPLAYÞView:Define Clips allows you to define one or several clipping planes. These restrict the display of 3D objects so that only parts on one side of the clipping plane are displayed. This can be used to see sectioned views through your model.

After executing the command, you choose the clipping plane direction by clicking the left mouse button for X-axis, middle for Y-axis and right for Z-axis direction. To move the clipping plane, move the cursor UP and DOWN.

You may define up to six clipping planes at a time, two for each axis direction. The clipping planes will stay in their place even if you change the eye point.

Pressing any KEY on the keyboard after launching the command displays the following dialog box which allows some or all clipping planes to be turned off or on.

The button SETTINGSÞClip can be used to turn on and off the display of all clip planes at once.
