Clipping Plane features for Rhino 6

[BrianJ (Brian James)]

Continuing the discussion from Clipping Plane options broken:

@Holo

Clippingplane refuses to make fills if the object isn’t a closed polysurface (or closed surface)
It should imo as Rhino is a surfacemodeller and we import and modify 3D data that has issues all the time, like STEP from Solidworks, that never come in as solids.

We also need the ability to have a clippinplane c-plane feature, where the only things we can snap to are the clipping edges.

Have you tried the SectionTools plugin that generates curves at clipping plane intersections? My understanding is that the clipping plane itself is entirely display based and lacks anything to actually snap to at present but we are definitely talking about further developments here.

With that said… add some more feature requests here as they come up if you like.

Hi Brian, I made my own script for this, so I am getting close to what I need, but it is not interactive or smooth.

There is much I would like to see implemented with a clippingplane feature, I’ll type them down when I have time, or when you start working on it.

Thanks.

Bug: Clippingplane is still clipping text that lies on the clippingplane, (dimensions)
Clipping it flickery, as in not knowing if should clip or not.
