Hi.

is there a chance to customize the fill of the section generated by a clipping plane ? it would be great to change the fill to e.g. a hatch or a solid color. During design process this would be very helpful, because you can turn the sections on and off every once i a while.

Danke !

You can set that in Preferences\> Display mode \> General page for the mode you are editing, near the bottom of the page. You do not get hatches, but a couple of ways to apply a solid color. (Object color, material)
