CuttingSection

class CuttingSection

The CuttingSection class is a concept class for cutting-section-related enum classes.

Public Types

enum class CappingLevel : uint32_t

Enumerates the level at which capping geometry should be generated for cutting sections.

Values:

enumerator Entity

Each piece of geometry should be treated as if it encloses a volume.

enumerator Segment

All geometry in a segment (but not subsegments) should be treated as if it encloses a single volume.

enumerator SegmentTree

All geometry in a segment tree should be treated as if it encloses a single volume.

enum class CappingUsage : uint32_t

Enumerates the choices for whether geometry (faces) are cut and processed for capping geometry.

Values:

enumerator Off

Faces will not be used for capping.

enumerator On

Faces will be used for capping generation.

enumerator Visibility

Faces will be used for capping generation if they are visible.

enum class CuttingLevel : uint32_t

Enumerates the level at which cutting planes should operate.

Values:

enumerator Global

Cutting sections will cut all geometry in the scene graph.

enumerator Local

Cutting sections will only cut geometry contained in the segment and subsegments where the cutting section is inserted.

enum class GatheringLevel : uint32_t

Enumerates the level at which capping geometry should be gathered.

Values:

enumerator Segment

Capping geometry will be gathered only from a single segment.

enumerator SegmentTree

Capping geometry will be gathered from the segment and all its subsegments and includes.

enum class MaterialPreference : uint32_t

Enumerates which material settings should be used for cut geometry generated for cutting sections.

Values:

enumerator Explicit

Use the effective materials set for cut faces and cut edges in the segment tree.

For example, the following function applies color settings that would be respected when MaterialPreference is set to Explicit: mySegmentKey.GetMaterialMappingControl().SetCutFaceColor(myRGBAColor).SetCutEdgeColor(myRGBAColor)

enumerator Implicit

Use the effective materials set for (regular) faces and (regular) edges in the segment tree. For Segment or SegmentTree CappingLevel, the implicit capping geometry face color will be the weighted average of the geometry face colors where the cut is applied.

For example, the following function applies color settings that would be respected when MaterialPreference is set to Implicit: mySegmentKey.GetMaterialMappingControl().SetFaceColor(myRGBAColor).SetEdgeColor(myRGBAColor)

enum class Mode : uint32_t

Enumerates the modes for cutting sections. These are the shapes (if any) of the visualization geometry that will be drawn to represent cutting planes within cutting sections.

Values:

enumerator None

No visualization geometry will be drawn for cutting planes in a cutting sections.

enumerator Round

A circular plane will be drawn for cutting planes in a cutting section. The size of the planes will be based on the size of the geometry being cut and the visualization scale.

enumerator Square

A square plane will be drawn for cutting planes in a cutting section. The size of the planes will be based on the size of the geometry being cut and the visualization scale.

enumerator Plane

An infinitely large plane will be drawn for cutting planes in a cutting section.

enum class ToleranceUnits : uint32_t

Enumerates the how tolerance should be interpreted.

Values:

enumerator Percent

Tolerance specified is interpreted as a percentage of current view (camera field).

enumerator WorldSpace

Tolerance specified is interpreted in world space.
