Clipping Your Design With a Volume

  1. Rotate and zoom in to your model to locate the model element or area you want to view.
  2. With nothing selected, right mouse click and select Clip with Volume > Set.
    This action clips the viewable and selectable geometry by the radius of a virtual sphere.
  3. Hover over the center of the element you want to view and then Click+drag to create your spherical clip volume.
  4. Release the mouse.
    The area you selected to preview magnifies and displays in a sphere as clipped, or isolated, from the rest of the model.
  5. Right mouse click and select Clip with Volume > Select.
    This selects the virtual spherical surface of the area.
    In the Properties panel, you can change the following:
    • Center: Enter new coordinates (based on the World Origin) for the sphere's center.
    • Clip selection: Choose Yes to clip the current selection by the sphere. The default is No.
    • Radius: Enter a new sphere radius.
  6. Right mouse click and select Clip with Volume > Set Using Selection.
    This sets the virtual sphere's extents based on the current selection.
  7. Hover over the area to identify all of the various design elements.
  8. To re-display your design with no clipping, right mouse click and select Clip with Volume > Clear.
