In addition to standard clipping planes, EnSight also provides clipping against quadric shapes. These clips use the corresponding quadric tool (Cylinder, Sphere, Cone, Surface of Revolution) to specify the location of the clip.

As with clip planes, these tools can also be used to perform cut operations, creating parts which are the inside or outside of the parent domain.

As with intersection clip planes, quadric clips can be changed interactively by manipulating the corresponding tool with the mouse.
