A clipping box is a cuboid-shaped cutout for specific areas of the model. This allows you to focus on particular objects and hide less relevant parts of the model.
You can quickly define a new clipping box using the
button in the CAD toolbar.
Coordinate system
Specify the coordinate system to which the clipping box refers. You can select a User-defined coordinate system from the list or create a new one using the
button.
Origin point
Enter the 'Point coordinates' that represent the center of the clipping box. You can also define this point graphically using the
button.
Dimensions
The size of the cuboid is described by the dimensions applied symmetrically from the center in each of the three directions. For an asymmetrical arrangement, use the
button and select any two points in the work window.
In the work window, the clipping box is framed by a cuboid. Parts located outside are clipped.
To enable or disable a clipping box, use the shortcut menu in the Navigator (compare image Enabling and disabling a clipping plane ).
