Smart tracking bug with Clipping Planes

Rhino Rhino for Windows

  1. Create a box (make sure part of it goes lower than the CPlane you plan to draw on)
  2. Create a horizontal clipping plane and set it to affect only that box
  3. Make sure the clipping plane is under the Cplane you draw on
  4. When you try to draw from Top View smart tracking does not work
  5. Also, if you try to draw a polyline, spline or polygon only the points appear until you finish drawing
    Using Clipping Planes is really important when you work on top of point clouds, so you need to only see slices of the cloud, but the rest of the geometry is visible.

hi @Dan_Iliescu what I can see not a smart track bug but rather a curve drawing bug with the clippingplane active.

I logged:
RH-83282 Curve drawing invisible while ClippingPlane is active

I think it’s also a SmartTrack problem.
Without Clipping plane if I hover over 2 points, I get OnTan helper, if I start a line from a point on another line I can get the OnPerp helper, and so on.
With Clipping plane I don’t get any of these.

Got it, I added that now.

RH-85573 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 17

That’s great news. Thank you!
