A clipping box is a cuboid cutout for certain areas of the model. It allows you to focus on specific objects and hide less relevant parts of the model.
Tip
Use the
button in the CAD toolbar to quickly define a new clipping plane.
Coordinate System
Define the coordinate system to which the clipping box refers. You can select a User-Defined Coordinate System from the list or create a new one using the
button.
Origin Point
Enter the 'Point coordinates' that represent the center of the clipping box. You can also define the point graphically using the
button.
Dimensions
The size of the cuboid is described by the dimensions that are applied symmetrically from the center in each of the three directions. For an asymmetrical arrangement, use the
button and select any two points in the work window.
In the work window, the clipping box is enclosed by a cuboid. Parts lying outside are cut off.
To switch a clipping box on or off, use the shortcut menu in the navigator (see the image Switching Clipping Plane On and Off ).
