Positive and Negative Action (Controlling Display of Structure Either Side of the Cutting Plane)
Positive and Negative Action (controlling display of structure either side of the cutting plane)
By default when cutting planes are switched on only the cut elements
are drawn normally, with the remainder in wire-frame.. But it is possible
to draw the mesh on both positive and negative sides of the plane at three
levels of complexity. Each side can be controlled separately.
The options are:
| OMIT | The mesh on this side is not drawn at all. |
| The mesh is drawn in "line" mode. This means no hidden-surface removal, and the cut plane will be visible through the mesh. | |
| NORMAL | The mesh on that side is drawn normally, with contoured data if applicable. Contours will be continuous over cut and uncut faces. |
| TRANSPARENT | The mesh on that side is drawn in a transparent mode, with contoured data if applicable. Contours will be continous over cut and uncut faces. |
| This image shows a cut section with the default settings(with both sides in outline mode) |
 |
| This image shows a cut section set to Omit on the positive side of the cut and Normal on the negative. |
