CuttingManager

class CuttingManager(): Main interface into the cutting functionality of the viewer. The object manages a number of individual CuttingSections which can be activated individually.

Methods

activateCuttingSections

CuttingManager.activateCuttingSections()

Activates all cutting sections, and restores any planes contained to the scene.

Return type: Promise <void>

clearAllCuttingSections

CuttingManager.clearAllCuttingSections()

Clears all cutting sections. This causes all cutting sections to be deactivated and all their cutting planes removed.

Return type: Promise <void>

createReferenceGeometryFromAxis

CuttingManager.createReferenceGeometryFromAxis(axis, modelBounding)

Arguments

axis (Axis()) – axis for reference geometry.
modelBounding (Box()) – modelBounding for geometry size.

generates reference geometry for a cutting plane.

Return type: [Point3]

createReferenceGeometryFromFaceNormal

CuttingManager.createReferenceGeometryFromFaceNormal(normal, position, modelBounding)

Arguments

normal (Point3()) – face normal.
position (Point3()) – face position.
modelBounding (Box()) – model bounding for geometry size.

Uses a selection normal and position to create reference geometry for a cutting plane.

Return type: [Point3]

deactivateAllCuttingSections

CuttingManager.deactivateAllCuttingSections()

Deactivates all cutting sections. Cutting planes are not removed from section and can be restored using [[activateCuttingSections]]

Return type: Promise <void>

delayCapping

CuttingManager.delayCapping()

Delays capping processing by a fixed time interval.

Return type: void

enableCappingIdleCallback

CuttingManager.enableCappingIdleCallback(enable)

Arguments

enable (boolean()) – Enables or disables activation of “cappingIdle” callback event.

Enables or disables activation of “cappingIdle” callback event.

Returns: A promise returning whether or not capping generation was idle when this call resolves.
Return type: Promise <boolean>

fromJson

CuttingManager.fromJson(json)

Arguments

json (any()) – None

Removes any cutting planes in the scene, and restores cutting planes from a json object.

Return type: Promise <void>

getActiveCuttingSectionCount

CuttingManager.getActiveCuttingSectionCount()

Returns: the number of active cutting sections.
Return type: number

getCappingFaceColor

CuttingManager.getCappingFaceColor()

Gets the color used for capping geometry faces.

Returns: color used for capping geometry faces.
Return type: null | Color

getCappingGeometryVisibility

CuttingManager.getCappingGeometryVisibility()

Gets whether capping geometry will show

Returns: boolean value indicating whether capping geometry will show
Return type: boolean

getCappingLineColor

CuttingManager.getCappingLineColor()

Gets the color used for capping geometry lines.

Returns: color used for capping geometry lines.
Return type: null | Color

getCuttingSection

CuttingManager.getCuttingSection(index)

Arguments

index (number()) – None

Gets a cutting section by index. Cutting sections are created automatically by the system and may be queried at any point during or after the sceneReady callback has been triggered.

Returns: the cutting section for the given index.
Return type: null | AbstractCuttingSection

getCuttingSectionCapacity

CuttingManager.getCuttingSectionCapacity()

Gets the total number of planes supported by each cutting section. Cutting planes contained in the same cutting section will work together (an object is only cut if all cutting planes in a section would cut it). Cutting planes in separate cutting sections do not work together when cutting (an object is cut if any one of the cutting sections would cut it).

Returns: the number of planes each cutting section may contain.
Return type: number

getCuttingSectionCount

CuttingManager.getCuttingSectionCount()

Gets the total number of cutting sections supported by the system.

Returns: the number of cutting sections supported by the system.
Return type: number

getCuttingSectionFromNodeId

CuttingManager.getCuttingSectionFromNodeId(nodeId)

Arguments

nodeId (null | number()) – a node ID for cutting plane stand-in geometry.

Gets the cutting section containing the cutting plane with the given node ID. If the supplied node ID is not contained by any cutting section null will be returned.

Returns: the CuttingSection that contains the plane with the given node id or null if none contain it.
Return type: null | CuttingSection

getNodesWithCapping

CuttingManager.getNodesWithCapping()

Gets all nodes that have capping drawn for them.

Returns: an array of node IDs that have capping drawn for them
Return type: Promise <[number]>

getStandinGeometryPickable

CuttingManager.getStandinGeometryPickable()

Gets whether stand-in geometry for cutting sections is pickable.

Returns: boolean value indicating whether stand-in geometry for cutting sections is pickable.
Return type: boolean

hasActiveCuttingSection

CuttingManager.hasActiveCuttingSection()

Returns: true if there is an active cutting section.
Return type: boolean

refreshPlaneGeometry

CuttingManager.refreshPlaneGeometry()

Updates all cutting plane geometry.

Return type: Promise <void>

setCappingDelay

CuttingManager.setCappingDelay(delayInMilliseconds)

Arguments

delayInMilliseconds (number()) – The delay amount.

Sets the delay used by delayCapping() in milliseconds.

Return type: void

setCappingFaceColor

CuttingManager.setCappingFaceColor(color)

Arguments

color (null | Color()) – color to use for capping geometry faces.

Sets the color to be used for capping geometry faces. If null is passed in as the color object, no capping face will be shown.

Return type: Promise <void>

setCappingGeometryVisibility

CuttingManager.setCappingGeometryVisibility(cappingGeometryVisibility)

Arguments

cappingGeometryVisibility (boolean()) – None

Sets whether capping geometry will show. The default value is true.

Return type: Promise <void>
