Purpose

The module SoClipBox clips any given geometrical data within a box.

Usage

Be aware of connecting SoClipBox before any geometry, hence to see a result.

Interaction

A clipping plane can be translated by clicking onto the outer rim of a plane and dragging.

If clicked into the inner portion of a clipping plane, it can be rotated.

To reset all clipping planes, press Reset Clipping Planes.

To accommodate the clip box to a new Inventor scene, press Reset Surround.

Visible Fields

On

name: on, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the geometry after this module in the scene graph is clipped.

Left

name: left, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the left side of the clipping box is active.

Top

name: top, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the top side of the clipping box is active.

Bottom

name: bottom, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the bottom side of the clipping box is active.

Front

name: front, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the front side of the clipping box is active.

Rear

name: rear, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the rear side of the clipping box is active.

Hide Geometry

name: hideGeometry, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the geometry of the clip box itself is hidden.

Reset Clipping Planes

name: resetGeometry, type: Trigger

If pressed, all six clipping planes are reset to their default position.

Note that if the Inventor scene to clip changes, the clipping planes are reset to the bounding box of the former scene. Use Reset Surround to accommodate to the new scene’s size.

Reset Surround

name: resetSurround, type: Trigger

If pressed, the size of the clip box is reset so that a changed Inventor scene fits into the box.

Note that the clipping planes themselves are left unchanged; to reset them as well, press Reset Clipping Planes.
