Rhino WIP Feature: Auto-Update per Clipping Drawing

In the Rhino WIP, you can turn off the auto-update per drawing

What are Clipping Drawings?

Clipping drawings are 2D geometry generated from clipping sections and can be placed anywhere parallel to World-XY plane, and updates with model changes.

Why controlling auto-update is useful?

In complex models, it might be time consuming to update the clipping-drawings every time the clipping-plane is moved. The new AutoUpdate option in ClippingDrawings command allows you to trigger an update only when run UpdateClippingDrawings command.

How to turn on/off auto-updating in clipping drawings:

  • Running ClippingDrawings command

  • Set AutoUpdate=Yes|No to turn on or off.

  • If set AutoUpdate to No, then you will need to run UpdateClippingDrawings command to see the change in your drawings.

  • If you need to change your preference, run EditClippingDrawings command and change the AutoUpdate option.
