Clipping plane(s) symbol - modifying when actually active

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hello,

if the file contains many clipping planes and several of them are active. Or if you’re actually looking in Elevation at a Clipped view seeing several clipping plane symbols oriented the same way - it is IMPOSSIBLE to know which of those clipping plane(s) are active. Like in this image:

Could the actually active clipping planes be marked somehow? Would help a lot. Maybe just making the symbol outline a bit thicker? Or making on of the squared opaque?

Thanks - this would help a lot.

There is a command in Rhino WIP called SelClippingPlaneInViewport that selects active clipping planes in the view.

I would have sworn this was in Rhino 8 as well, might have been a test command at one point.

ok, that’s good.

But the command is a bit of a misnomer - no ?

SelClippingPlaneInViewport ??? It should be SelActiveClippingPlaneInViewport ???

But, I still think that my suggestion is relevant.

Like this for example. With the corner marked.

Another thing,

could you please implement toggling active clipping planes off/on ?

The hidden TestEnable .. TestDisable works to turn them off … But when you turn them on, all my 56 clipping planes become active at the same time …

There should be a way to “temporary” disable active CPs and then re-enable the same set of CPs again.
