Uniform Spacing

Uniform spacing

 

When Custom spacing is off, these multiple parallel cut planes are located at a constant spacing either side of this "base" section.

Choose the spacing between planes. The default value is approximately 10% of the largest diagonal of the bounding box around the model.

By default cuts will extend the full distance on either side of the base plane to include the whole model, subject of a "sanity check" limit of 999 planes on each side. You can limit this by setting the numbers # planes +/- on +ve and -ve sides, both values being in the range 0 - 999.

Here is an example of a multiple plane allowed to repeat the default number of times, so that it spans the whole model from end to end. Wireframe plane display has been switched on to show the "base" plane.

Here "thick cuts" have been turned on for the example above, showing how they can be used in conjunction with multiple planes.

Here the number of planes has been limited to 3 on the -ve side and 2 on the +ve side,showing 6 in all (as the base plane is always drawn). The thickness of the sections has also been reduced.
