At some point in time, you may wish to cut a section through your model. For that, you can use our Clip feature and apply either a single clip plane in any direction or a clip box (up to 6 clip planes).

Single Clip Plane

You can activate a single clip plane from the features panel. Click on the Clip feature, then Start Single Clip. A single clip plane will appear at the top of your model. There are 4 main features available for further interaction:

  • Arrows. For dragging the clip plane Up or Down

  • Flip button. To flip the direction of a clip plane

  • Delete button. Press on the X button to delete the clip plane

  • Orientation button. Click on the button to activate it, then select any model face to update clip orientation.

Clip Box

Clip Box acts the same way as a single clip but offers you six clip planes (section box) to begin. You can delete individual or all clip planes and change their orientation. You can activate a clip box from the features panel. Click on the Clip feature, then Start Box Clip.
