ClippingPlanes leave visible text in Viewport when Layer is Off

Serengeti (Rhino BETA)

ClippingPlanes leave visible text in Viewport when Layer is Off. The ClippingPlanes are in this example inside a Group, but I don’t know if that is relevant or not? Bitmaps are lowres in Zip.

The Grid is visible through the floor in the CaptureToFile Preview and in the result but not in the Viewport.

When the ClippingPlanes are not intersecting any geometry the NamedViews created has a lens lenght of 0.1mm resulting in EXTREME wideangle views clearly visible in the thumbnails…

@dale My SystemInfo is on this post if you need it for the “Unintended Floating Viewports”

I opened your Rhino file and the text in blocks is not attached to your clipping planes in any way.

Each group consist of: a Box + two ClippingPlanes + a TextDot (on the top of the Box and “HorisontalToView”). The idea is that all 2D plan-drawings should have a clear and easy to read text with two arrows pointing to the side with the artwork, and the TextDot should make it easy to see which artwork is where, when you move the groups around in fx an exhibition layout read in a worksession. I speculate why I see reminants of the text from the ClippingPlanes AND why the grid is visible through the Boxes and the floor.

… once grouped, how do you access the clipping plane options?

SubSelection (Ctrl+Shift+LMB) works with Groups and it is also possible to use filters or rightclick on the Layer and Select Objects

how did you create this text?

I assume it is the visible text you’re reporting…

My guess is that the visible text is one of the following A) Something to do with the ClippingPlanes inside the Group B) Something to do with the Name of the Group. I did not choose to make it visible and would describe it as a bug because you can’t turn it off.

How did you create the text blocks?

10

My guess: The Text is the names of the two ClippingPlanes (Two texts overlap). They are NOT HorisontalToView like the TextDots and they are NOT horisontal XY/CPlane like the two ClippingPlanes.

11

The text you see is not attached to the clipping planes.

It looks like clipping plane names duplicated or created separately.

12

In order to reproduce this: A) Create a Box B) Create two ClippingPlanes (one on each side of the Box C) Rename the ClippingPlanes to “01” and “02” D) Add a TextDot on top of the Box “01+02” E) Make a Group consisting of: The Box + The two ClippingPlanes + The TextDot F) Assign a name to the Group “01+02” using the Properties Panel G) Change the DisplayMode and orbit the scene.

13

why not use the text dot option on the clipping plane?

I might be ignoring something but I still don’t see where the text is coming from.

14

If you imagine the artwork placed on either side of the Box and you need to present the exhibition layout to a client, you would need clear text visible in the 2D plan-drawing without any chance of misunderstanding which art is going to which side of which Box. That is not possible with TextDots since they are “seethrough” and HorizontalToView
