I haven’t looked at the V7 WIP yet, so my apologies if this is already implemented. We would like to have an option that allows the clipping plane fill to inherit the colour of the object being clipped. Currently (in V6) it’s one colour only. [image] Thanks, Dan

Hi @wim , i wondered why this does not work over here and it seems that if color backfaces is enabled, the backface color is used instead. So the clipped face seems to count as backface ? _ c.

Hi @clement , [image] clement: So the clipped face seems to count as backface ? I see that here, yes. Filed as RH-51055 . Thanks! [image] clement: i wondered why this does not work over here When you use the factory-default Shaded display mode, what does it looks like on your end? (yo…

[image] wim: When you use the factory-default Shaded display mode, what does it looks like on your end? Hi @wim , when i do not use color backfaces it works as expected of course. Thanks for adding a YT item for it. _ c.

Hi @wim , I didn’t know about this option. It’s exactly what I needed. I do see the bug with the back faces too, but I have a separate display mode set up to display backfaces so it’s not a problem for me. Thanks, Dan

This is how this has always worked…even all throughout the V5 development cycle…and I believe that it was even requested to work the way it does now. Changing this behavior at this point is going to require some kind of massive agreement among all of you and possibly others, because my guess is that…

[image] jeff: This is how this has always worked…even all throughout the V5 development cycle… This is not much of a justification, as clipping planes was for most of the V5 development cycle - how can I put this - disappointing. It started far worse than that and was a complete waste of beta…

[image] AlW: This is not much of a justification It wasn’t meant to be any kind of justification… The only point I was trying to make is that the way it works now is the way it’s been working for over 10 years…and we’re just now talking/hearing about it? In my experience that usually means: a…

Hi @jeff , All, I had some discussions about these issues with @Pascal and provided some examples. I totally agree where you are coming from regarding ‘clipping faces being backfaces’, it’s only after been working with this for a few years and looking at many many many complex models that I realize …

[image] jeff: a) It is something that nobody uses. It is important to avoid confusing the two main possible causes for this situation: At it’s core nobody actually wants it or needs it. It’s implementation has not reach the threshold of usability, due to inadequate functionality, annoyingly…

Regarding the threshold of usability, I’d say that I’ve have had periods of using/not using clipping planes based on the availability of a functionality that @dale coded for me back in early V5 WIP days with a plugin called GustoJunk.rhp. This is now 2 test commands called _TestEnableAllClippingPla…
