Clipping Drawing is a good tool for parametric cuts in the direction of BIM CAD programs for architecture etc. but is there also a way to derive/display point clouds with these.? In the 3D and other views they are cut perfectly but unfortunately not shown in the derivation.
If it’s not possible, then unfortunately I have to generate the derivation of the point cloud manually using PointCloudSection or something like that.
Sorry, English is not my native language but I hope you understand what I mean.
In my example, I have to plan an escape route in an existing tunnel and beyond and I modeled the new building “draft status” and created several parametric sections with the ClippingDrawings command and now I wanted to display the point cloud in these if possible without manually guiding the surrounding area in the section.
If it is currently not possible to include them automatically, then I would have to/would just create them with the PointCloudSection command, but I wanted to ask if there is a way to include them automatically, then you wouldn’t have to readjust them when the cutting position changes.
I’m very happy that parametric cuts are now possible with Rhino 8 without having to use plugins.
Thanks, I understand now. Ideally this would happen via section tools, i’ll create a feature request.
Note that creating a point cloud section works better when you can flatten a band of the point cloud instead of a single plane. If i recall correctly cockroach clouds grasshopper components do this.
