Custom Object: Box with grips (and future clipping planes)

[tobias.stoltmann]

Hi there,

I am trying to create a “clipping box” that I may adapt by the corner points of the box itself.

So far I am starting in small steps and I am asking myself how to create a custom box with corner points, that I may “stretch”.
I am mostly struggling with the idea of how to stretch the box when the point is moved.

Is there any documentation out there or any hints you might have?
I am quite “blank” on this one, so I will be very happy about any input here.

Thanks,
T.

Clipping box in 3D view

Hello, I would like a clipping box in the 3D view similar to those in point cloud programs. I use clipping planes but I would like to have an independent box in 3D view. I remember someone mentioned that this is possible, but I can not find any information other then old forum requests. I really like the one in Recap.

How to attach clipping planes to box

Hello, I am trying to make a clipping box just like Revit has. So far, I made a command that flexibly change the size of box. It is the box with 6 gumball arrows attached to each faces. [AdjustableBoxicture] Now I want to arrange the box to clipping box. But just attached the clipping plane to each faces, it dose not look well for use. [ClippingPlaneTest] What really I want to do it look like is, the clipping planes should be invisible only at moving it appears, etc. I tried a meth…

If not, what is different about your request?
