I’m working with a large sloping site; and have ground storey contents at multiple elevations.
Currently, I move the clipping planes to relevant elevations, capture part of the image with make2d, and compile it together.
Is there a way to have multiple clipping planes which can be limited in their size, so that this type of thing can be done in one go? Or is that not how these components work?
If I had two local clipping planes which can be set at different heights with restricted bounds, then I can see only the ground contents in one go (image photoshopped)
This feature have been requested multiple times now but it hasn’t been implemented. You can add your vote here:
Etc.
Clipping plane by object has been added to the wish list here: https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-40457
But I think your solution of having limits set to clipping planes is a more elegant one and does not required creating another object.
I think this additional capability would make clipping planes useful for a lot of people who don’t use them at all in the current version because they lack it.
