Clipping a Design Interactively

To clip the viewable and selectable geometry interactively by the radius of a virtual sphere or cube:
  1. Select Volume Clip from the Visibility group of the Display tab.
  2. Rotate and zoom in to your model to locate the model element or area you want to view.
  3. Select a Shape for the volume clip, either a cube or sphere.
  4. Specify the Method as Set interactively.
  5. Select the model element or area and select Clip with volume interactively to clip the viewable and selectable geometry by the radius of a virtual volume.
  6. Hover over the center of the element you want to view and then Click+drag to create your clip volume. The area you selected to preview magnifies and displays in a sphere as clipped, or isolated, from the rest of the model.
  7. Hover over the area if you want to identify all of the various design elements.
Once you have created your clip, select Clear the clip area to re-display your design with no clipping. You can also change the size of your clip or move it using the Resize the clip area and Move the clip area tool guides on the left side of the HUD.
