Hello @rajaa and @Vanessa , Could you please take a look at issues I have? Is it intentional, that ClippingDrawing takes hidden objects to consideration? My understanding, it shouldn’t. Do you have any cases where it is needed? On creation of the drawing I have multiple duplication. Looks like a…

[image] Rajaa Issa: Please share an example. Hi @rajaa . Thanks for looking at my case. The video above shows this issue with duplication. I’ve also included the Rhino file. [image] Rajaa Issa: if it is set to clip through “Selected” objects or layers, it will include them whether hidde…

[image] Rajaa Issa: I see the issue in your workflow. Do you think it is possible to give an option to a user (Include hidden)? Add one more check box to the dialog? [image] Rajaa Issa: can’t replicate it Please try using ClippingDrawing command on my file with these parameters: [im…

[image] Rajaa Issa: @Trav can you help? I’m thinking this is a YT for Steve where the object id’s need to be inspected. The UI can’t make that decision, it just adds or removes objects from the list.
