Clipping

class cee.Clipping()

Manages general clipping planes in a View.

Anything behind (on the opposite side of the plane normal) the given planes is hidden.

Note: The ug.RemoteModel has clipping support connect to cutting planes. These are handled separately,

and the clipping planes for cutting planes will not show up here.

Bounded clipping planes

EnvisionWeb supports bounded clipping planes. This allows for cutting out parts of the model in many different ways. By default a clipping plane will clip an object/fragment if it is behind the specified plane (on the opposite side of the plane normal). Bounded clipping planes can be created by assigning all the wanted planes the same group ID when adding them, and then setting the clipping criteria for the group to ClippingCriteria.BehindAllPlanes.

You can access the clipping object with the View.clipping property.

Accessors

  • planeCount

Methods

Accessors

cee.planeCount()

The number of clipping planes in the view

Return type:

number

Methods

addPlane

Clipping.addPlane(plane, groupId)
Arguments:

  • plane (Plane) – None

  • groupId (number) – None

Adds a clipping plane to the view.

By default the plane clips anything behind the plane (on the opposite side of the plane normal). This can be changed by specifying the clipping criteria for the plane group to which this plane belongs using Clipping.setGroupClippingCriteria

Return type:

void

getGroupId

Clipping.getGroupId(index)
Arguments:

  • index (number) – None

Return the group id of the plane at the specified index

Return type:

number

getPlane

Clipping.getPlane(index)
Arguments:

  • index (number) – None

Return the Plane at the given index

Return type:

Plane

getPlaneArray

Clipping.getPlaneArray()

Returns a readonly array of all the planes in the view

Return type:

unknown

removeAllPlanes

Clipping.removeAllPlanes()

Removes all clipping planes in the view

Also clears any plane groups and clipping criteria that has been specified

Return type:

void

removePlane

Clipping.removePlane(index)
Arguments:

  • index (number) – None

Remove the clipping plane at the given index

Return type:

void

setGroupClippingCriteria

Clipping.setGroupClippingCriteria(groupId, groupClippingCriteria)
Arguments:

  • groupId (number) – None

  • groupClippingCriteria (ClippingCriteria) – None

Sets clipping criteria for the specified group of planes

Return type:

void

setPlane

Clipping.setPlane(index, plane)
Arguments:

  • index (number) – None

  • plane (Plane) – None

Sets a clipping plane at the given index.

By default the plane clips anything behind the plane (on the opposite side of the plane normal).

Return type:

void
