ClippingPlane

The ClippingPlane command creates a clipping plane object that represents a plane for visibly clipping away geometry in a specific viewport.

Command-line options

Note

• The appearance of the clipping plane edges is controlled in the display modes.
• The clipping plane is infinite. The clipping plane object represents only the location and direction of the clipping plane.
• The visibility of clipping planes is controlled with Hide, Show, and layer visibility like all Rhino objects.
• Clipping plane properties specify the clipping plane's direction and the viewports affected by the clipping plane.
• The clipping plane pointer faces toward the objects that will be visible.
