Clipping

Using this menu you can create cross-section views (clipping planes) of your mesh.

To start, click on the New button.

Now you can define the parameters of your cross-section: list of meshes, sub-meshes and groups the cross-section will be applied to (Select all button allows to select and deselect all available objects at once), Orientation (X-Y, X-Z or Y-Z); 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; and Rotation (in angle degrees) around X (Y to Z) and around Y (X to Z). If the Show preview button is on, you can see the clipping plane in the 3D Viewer.
