Adding a 3D Clipping to an Exact View

Add 3D Clipping lets you define the 3D limits of the geometry to be visualized, without entering the DMU app. This command is particularly useful for a large assembly.

Before you begin: Open a drawing representation containing a generated view.
  1. In the Clipping dialog box, under Characteristics, click any one of the following options:

    • Back clipping : To select 3D elements positioned ahead of the plane.

    • Slice clipping : To select 3D elements between the back and the front clipping planes.

    • Box clipping : To select 3D elements inside the clipping box.

    • Volume clipping : To select a space allocation volume.

  2. Under Parameters, enter the values to adjust the clipping planes.

    Tip: To modify the position of a clipping plane, you can drag the arrow in the 3D viewer.

  3. Under Display, click the options to change the visualization accordingly.
    • Clipping tool:
      • Display background and clipping tool : Shows the 3D object and the clipping tool.
      • Display clipped background and clipping tool : Shows the clipped 3D object and the clipping tool.
      • Display clipping tool : Shows only the clipping tool.
    • Transparency: Modifies the transparency of the clipping tool. By default, the value is 200.
    • Turn viewpoint: Turns the viewpoint of the 3D object to Iso, Front, Rear, Left, Right, Top, or Bottom.
