Clipping a Design with Planes

To clip a design with one or more planes:

Select a plane, or use Ctrl+Select to select multiple planes.
Select Plane Clip from the Display tab to display the tool HUD.
Select Clip with plane in the HUD.

The plane or planes you clipped display with a red outline. Icons update in the model tree. With the plane(s) selected, you can modify values in the tool options.

To restore the view of your design, select Clear the clip area. You can also reverse the direction of the clipped plane.

By default, when clipping is initially set, additional selected planes automatically combine using an "and" operation. This way you can isolate the inside of two parallel planes or the inside of three pairs of parallel planes (one of the most common usages for this feature).

With a group (two or more) of planes, you can also choose to merge them together. This option is essentially an "or" operation that defines a plane group that you intend to combine with the rest of the planes. Once you define and combine a group of planes, the merged set is put at the beginning of the logical set, and the rest of the planes follow with their default "and" states.
