Multiple Non-Parallel Cuts

Multiple directions for non-parallel cuts

Cut planes can be defined in up to three directions. By default only one plane direction is active. However, it is possible to have any combination selected (this includes none or all three directions). Enabling the cut plane for each direction can be managed with the tick boxes above each direction tab D1, D2, and D3:

 

Note that the cutting switch applies to all plane directions together. When it is switched off, the graphics window(s) show the model(s) as usual. When it is on, then the intersection or union of cut planes (depending on the enabled mode) with the model with all planes defined in these tabs is shown. The properties for each cut plane direction can be modified by selecting the relevant direction tab.
