Cross Section Tab Page

In this tab, you can view and modify the cross-section plane's properties, including the plane's color and opacity. Cross-section planes let you exclude some of a scene's geometry to view or render only certain portions of the scene.

Following are the functions and their descriptions:

Functions Descriptions

Determines the general appearance of the cross section outline.

  • Color: Opens the color selector, and allows you to select a color in which to display the cross section outline.

Interactive Plane

  • Border: Draws border for cross section plane

  • Color: Opens the color selector, and allows you to select a color in which to display the cross section plane

  • Opacity: Determines the opacity of the cross section plane

  • Immovable: Prevents transformation of the cross section plane

Cap Processor

Determines how cross section caps are generated.

  • Grouped: Determines how contours are built, that is, from all nodes or for each node separately.

  • Create Outline: Creates an outline for the cross section.

  • Forced Outline Locking: Allows forced creation of closed contours. This function is helpful if there are cracks in the mesh.

  • Percent of BBOX of Scene: Contours with cracks shorter than the % of length of scene bounding are treated as closed contours.

  • Lock All Outlines: Creates closed contours for everything.

  • Create Caps: Creates caps or not.

  • Caps Material: Select a material for the caps, outline color, or node material.
