[Clipping Plane] - Using the Clipping Plane as "Plane" for Grasshopper?

i would like to use the Clipping Plane inside Grasshopper, so i can move it with a Number Slider.
And also for intersections.
At the moment i cant select the Clippingplane and put it into a Grasshopper “Plane” component.

2
Also is there away without Grasshopper to “project” texts or other objects on a Clipping Plane Cut which was placed in 2D on XY ?

Creating a 2D, the Clipping Plane is helpfull. But for Projecting objects i need to use Grasshopper because Rhino mostly says, objects dont hit the “surface”

Anyone has a tipp for me ?

Thanks for your time.

Hi @_Rhino_User,

If I understand you correctly, you want to get a reference to plane location of a Rhino Clipping Plane in GH so that you can use it with other GH components like Orient, MoveToPlane, Etc etc.

You could get a reference to the active Clipping Plane with a Python or C# component in GH and output the Clipping Plane.Plane from that component.

This way when you move/update the clipping plane in Rhino it would update the result plane in GH

Hey,

Here’s a post by @Mahdiyar who created a C#-component to move the clipping plane from grasshopper.
