Using this menu you can create cross-section views (clipping planes) of your presentation.
To start, click on the New button. A new clipping plane will be immediately displayed in 3D Viewer. You can create as many clipping planes as you need. To delete an unwanted plane, select in the list of planes and click Delete button.
Now you can define the parameters of your cross-section. You can define them either in Non Structured or in IJK (Structured) way.
Non Structured mode allows to select the clipping plane by adjusting the following parameters:
Orientation - allows to choose horizontal (X-Y) or vertical (Y-Z and Z-X) orientation of the clipping plane;
Distance is defined between the opposite extremities of the object (if it is set to 0.5 the object is split in two halves);
Rotation (in angle degrees) allows to rotate the clipping plane about the axes defining the orientation plane.
Show preview - displays the clipping plane in the 3D Viewer.
Auto Apply - automatically hides from view the part of object truncated by the plane.
In the IJK (Structured) mode the clipping plane will be oriented completely perpendicular to one of the selectable Axes.
Index gives the choice of several possible positions of the plane.
Reverse normal - allows to select which part of the object should be truncated.
Show preview - displays the clipping plane in the 3D Viewer.
Auto Apply - automatically hides from view the part of object truncated by the plane.
