Hi @rajaa It sounds like impossible thing now, but any chance to have an ability to have separate linetype, color and thickness for tangent edges (with option of tangency amount) in polysurface on the resulting ClippingDrawing? Instead of this: [image] Have this: [image]

How does one capture an elevation like this for display in a detail on a layout? When my model has many buildings in it and I need an elevation from an unobstructed point, I can set a 2-point perspective and try to make something work, but then it’s two-point perspective and not an elevation and it…

Hi @Simon_Vorhammer , Maybe a silly workaround but if you take the Clipping Plane object and then apply a -1 scale on it with the gumball scale handle you will get the clipped drawing as RCP: Select clipping plane Set X scale to -1: [image] Reap the rewards of maintaining the dynamic clipping but…

@michaelvollrath Ah, yes, of course! That makes sense. Why didn’t I think of this? :wink: Thank you!

I spent about 3 hours working on an RCP camera function before one of the devs pointed out it’s simply an inverted transform so happy to pass that on since now. I never would have thought of that haha

@rajaa I wish we could just use section views on details instead of drawings. Have actual print settings in section styles. The ability to vector print a section with thicknesses from a detail on a layout would simplify the architectural drawing workflow massively. Is this something that could be co…

Hi @brian thank you for this! I was wondering if it is being planned (or if somebody asked already) to have more explicit Clipping plane properties: Currently some properties can be set trough Clipping Plane Properties Tab [image] while some other can be set only trough _EditClippingDrawings …

Hi @guido , I’m totally in with your vision. Unfortunately, McNeel Team started implementing such idea too late, as per This post.

Agreed. As soon as the option to include the geometry beyond the section plane as proper 2D vectors was added to the mix (and have it dynamically linked to the source), I’m thinking “well, if it can still do that without the section plane actually cutting through anything, we’re good to go for all 2…

[image] Luca: Why not embed all Clip Plane properties to his tab? Hi @luca4 you’re making a good point, but not all clipping-planes have drawings extracted by default. I can see how it would be useful to edit the settings of the drawings from the property panel once a drawings is created. I a…
