Creating Automatic Planar Sections

XYZ Automatic Planar Sections creates planar sections from a digit along the 3 directions of any axis system in a few clicks.

  1. Select the Element to cut (Clouds of points, meshes, surfaces, or volumes).

    A context menu is available on the selection.

  2. Optional: Edit the Sag value used to tessellate volumes or surfaces.

    Whenever you modify the Sag value, the tessellation is restarted.

  3. When working with clouds of points, define the Influence area (computation area around the cutting planes).
  4. Select the axes of the current axis system to take into account.
  5. Define the Start and Stop values to create the planar sections only on a portion of the selected elements.
    • Select Auto-range: Start and Stop values are adjusted automatically for each direction, depending on the elements selected.
    • Or clear Auto-range and input your own Start and Stop values.
  6. Define the Offset from the axis system origin along each axis.
  7. Define the Step between planar sections.
  8. For each axis, select the Color of the planar sections.
  9. Click Apply to display changes on cloud of points.

    Changes are dynamically displayed on tessellations.
