just what view to draw rectangle in to hide the box , or my chassis when viewing in right view (as need to see the brake assembly at rear of wheel a circular items) ?
In V5 and in top view have a chassis at left of a wheel, and wish to see the wheel.
I draw the rectangle in the right view, which is where the hifing sheet would go, but it only acts in the top view, it doesnt hide the chassis leaving the wheel visible
SO LETS SIMPLIFY THIS, chassis is box and wheel a sphere.
lets try V8
but drawing in the lower right view the rectangle
the tool now has little arrows, but shows box as white. I dont want to see the box !
or is clipping plane wrong tool to hide part of an object ?
Hi Steve -
The clipping plane will clip the view that is active when you start the command.
You can set which view will be clipped in the Properties panel when the clipping plane is selected.

In order to be able to change the properties of an object, you need to be able to select that object, and you will need to turn that layer on.
I keep my clipping planes on a layer that is off at all times and use named views to toggle the clipping state. I save a view that isn’t clipped as, e.g., “v0” and then activate the clipping plane and save the view as “v1”. I can then simply type “v0” to get back to the unclipped view.
Apart from that, there is the TestDisableAllClippingPlanes to turn off all clipping for all clipping planes…

Hi Wim,
Thanks, I’ll will give that a go, I keep wondering where things are I have drawn !
If I were to make a button for the toolbar to do that, V0 and V1 method, what would be the code ?
Even more clever, click the button, draw the pane, give it a name at the next prompt of the button, click save. have it do the saved name etc as well.
Do we have a coder as Pascal would have knocked one out for that
