Hi Forum, I went through a series of clipping planes to help visualize a model. I had about 4 of them. This is over a 2 session period , so the model was open and closed several times in the last day or so.
I can’t share the model because of confidentiality, so I am just asking if it is an issue with anyone else.
to further explain , I made 2 clipping planes yesterday and 2 today. I deleted today’s fine and the part they clipped became visual after deleting ( as expected). The other 2 have become non- visable ,but are still clipping the part (model). Now it is unusable at this point because it is incomplete. No, I didn.t back it up . This has never been an issue ,as Rhino is usually stable. I do save frequently, but this doesn’t help if it isn’t caught in progress.
Can’t be of much use other than this explanation and letting it be known . thanks,Mark
Curious, if you type selclippingplane does it say it selects them? if so is it possible then to delete them?
thanks Chris for responding. I further investigated and tried 4 viewport command and All the model restored itself ( whop whop ) so I think this is a solved issue. Why the 4 viewport would restore the model ? I don’t know .
going to save and backup now . Thanks,Mark
Glad you got your work back, no matter how or why.
Hi Mark, I use clipping planes a lot in V5 and have never had that problem. Are you in 6 or 5? I tend to toggle them active or inactive with a macro using a mixture of the commands below.
_SelClippingPlane
_DisableClippingPlane
_EnableClippingPlane
I also usually put them all in their own layer for easing hiding on mass or deletion.
Glad you got it sorted.
cheers,
Sochin
Hi Sochin, I am working always in V6 lately. I too put clipping planes on their own layer, and sometimes turn them off in the display panel. I don’t know what happened . things get hung up sometimes. Glad I listen to Pascal and others here . They provide a lot of trouble shooting senarios. thanks,Mark
