Can Vector Display has Viewport Filter like Custom Preview?

[ctu6]

So this is getting very annoying and frustrated.

Could Vector Display and Vector Display Ex has the same Viewport Filter like Custom Preview does?

As first image show, when view from Right and Clipping Plane applied, the 3D Vector are cropped leaving broken lines. Then I reconstruct the vector perpendicular to each viewport then use MetaHopper to control the preview.

The annoying part is, this method just not intuitive since whenever the viewport change in Rhino the user has to jump back to GH and do the switch. Furthermore when there’s 4 viewports tile up the preview won’t make sense at all.

The other way I thought of is @andheum 's Custom Preview Linewieght which has the View Filter option like Custom Preview has, but that means the vector line + arrows has to be made, simply created unnecessary geometries in the file…

I’ve put that feature request on the list as RH-69017.

Thanks @wim ,

Meanwhile I also found the Viewport Filter of Custom Preview seems doesn’t work for certain view modes (Rendered, Arctic, Raytranced) which would have the render turn on.
