Purpose¶

The SoPathTracerMaskVolume module provides an 8-bit mask volume that can be used by a SoPathTracerVolume and SoPathTracerVolumeInstance to mask the volume. A typical use case is to utilize it in conjunction with SoVolumeCutting, which can provide a mask volume interactively.

A mask volume has a Volume Name. This name can be used in multiple SoPathTracerVolume and SoPathTracerVolumeInstance modules by specifying the Volume Name as maskVolume.
