Purpose

The module WEMClipPlaneToWEM clips a WEM with a given Plane and generates the resulting clipped WEM (either above or below the plane).

Input Fields

inWEM

name: inWEM, type: WEM(MLBase)

The input WEM.

For accessing this object via scripting see the Scripting Reference: MLWEMWrapper.

Output Fields

outWEM

name: outWEM, type: WEM(MLBase)

The output WEM.

For accessing this object via scripting see the Scripting Reference: MLWEMWrapper.

Parameter Fields

Field Index

elapsedTime: Float	progress: Float
Generate Edges: Bool	Result Mode: Enum
id: Integer	shouldComputeNormals: Bool
isProcessing: Bool	triangulationMode: Enum
listenToFinishNotifications: Bool	Which Output: Enum
listenToRepaintNotifications: Bool	workDirectlyOnInputWEMs: Bool
listenToSelectionChangedNotifications: Bool
Plane: Plane

Visible Fields

Plane

name: plane, type: Plane, default: 0 0 1 0

Defines the plane (in world coordinates) that is used for clipping with the WEM.

Generate Edges

name: generateEdges, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If enabled, edge connectivity is generated.

Result Mode

name: resultMode, type: Enum, default: RemainderOnly, deprecated name: closeIntersection

Defines what the module puts out as a result.

Values:

Title	Name	Deprecated Name	Description
Remainder Only	RemainderOnly	FALSE	The module returns only the clipped WEM patch which is an open surface.
Remainder With Cover	RemainderWithCover	TRUE	The module returns a closed clipped WEM patch. In the rendering, there might be shading artifacts which can be reduced by using a crease angle in SoWEMRenderer.
Cover Only	CoverOnly		The module returns only the cover.
Remainder And Cover In Separate Patches	RemainderAndCoverInSeparatePatches		The module returns the clipped WEM and the cover as separate patches. This looks good because the cover has no rendering artifacts. But this result might not be not useful for further processing because it is no single surface anymore, nodes of the cover and the clipped WEM (the remainder) are doubled.

Which Output

name: whichOutput, type: Enum, default: PositiveSide

Selects which part of the clipped WEM is shown.

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Positive Side	PositiveSide	Outputs the WEM that lies on the positive side of the plane.
Negative Side	NegativeSide	Outputs the WEM that lies on the negative side of the plane.
