The tab is intended to manage six clipping planes. Using the cutting  you can left visible only the desired area in arbitrarily complex 3D model. Clipping is useful when designing CCTV indoor a large building, using 3D model of the building.

You can also hide individual objects (Hide tool) and separate layers.

Switch ON/OFF using cutting.

If the checkbox is checked, then cutting plane positions are calculated automatically by limiting objects on the layout. The Cutting on Height, Width cutting (X) and Depth cutting (Y) panels become inaccessible.

To form stable work area it is recommended to place limiting objects (for example - points) on the corners of the layout.

In the Top and Bottom combo boxes you can set heights of upper and lower cutting planes. The heights are set relative to the zero ground.

The boxes are accessible when the At layout size check box in not checked.

You can set the position of horizontal cutting plane directly on the 3D image. To do this, click  the button with a knife  or . The mouse cursor changes to a knife. After that, specify the position of the clipping plane by clicking directly on the 3D image.

Click on any object, but not on the free space.

To set the clipping plane on the limit of the layout (disable one of clipping planes), click the button with a knife  or , and then click on the free space on the layout where clipped objects were.

Positions and directions of X and Y axis correspond to view of the layout in the Graphics window and view in the 3D World after clicking on the Top view button.

In the Left and Right, Front and Back combo boxes you can set distances of the clipping planes from the front left corner point on the layout.

The boxes are accessible when the At layout size check box in not checked.

You can set the position of cutting plane directly on the 3D image. To do this, click  the button with a knife ,  or , . The mouse cursor changes to a knife. After that, specify the position of the clipping plane by clicking directly on the 3D image.

Click on any object, but not on the free space.

To set the clipping plane on the limit of the layout (disable one of clipping planes), click the button with a knife ,  or , , and then click on the free space on the layout where clipped objects were.
