Clip Planes Window (LSV)

Prev Next

Use the Clip Planes window in the LSV to crop or trim a scene or layer to refine or narrow the focus of a loaded scene.

Clip Planes Window Navigation

  1. Upon accessing the LSV and selecting a Platform, the Clip Planes window opens by default in the lower right corner of the screen.

  2. Left click the select box to enable the LSV’s clipping function.

  3. The section of the Clip Planes window defaults to the unexpanded view.

    NOTE

    No need to expand this section when cropping or trimming an entire Scene. Just use the Clip Minimum and Clip Maximum sliders.

  4. To clip only specific layers of a scene:

    • Expand (left click) the Clipped Layers section to view all currently loaded layers

      • The select box for each loaded layer defaults to checked

    • Left click to deselect (uncheck) every layer that should not be clipped

    • Ensure the select boxes of all layers to be clipped contain checkmarks

    • Left click the down arrow to close the Clipped Layers section

  5. The Clip Minimum and Clip Maximum sections of the Clip Planes window:

    • Defaults to the expanded view

    • Contain the x, y, and z axes sliders used to set the minimum and maximum clip parameters

      • Left click and drag a slider to select a boundary value

        • Or left click within a slider textbox, press the tab key, backspace to erase the existing value, and manually type a desired value

          NOTE

          Clipping loaded models or layers hides everything outside the bounds set in the Clip Minimum and Clip Maximum sliders.

          Changes are dynamic in the loaded scene’s impacted models and layers.

  6. Reopen a closed Clip Planes window in the menu in the upper left corner of the screen.
