SoClipBox¶

InventorModule¶

genre	`Interaction`
author	`MeVis Medical Solutions AG`
package	`MeVisLab/Standard`
dll	`SoUtils`
definition	utils.def
keywords	`data`

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.

Right¶

name: right, type: Bool, default: TRUE¶: If checked, the right 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.
