Set 3D Limits

You can restrict the visibility of an object using a planar face. The planar face can be a face in the direction of the coordinate axis, or a face in the direction of a face indicated in the model. When you move the limiting face in the model, the objects are cut.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Select Set 3D Limits from the tool strip.
    • Select View | Limiting | Set.
    • Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select Set 3D Limits.

    A rectangular polyhedron is drawn around the model.

  2. Do either of the following.
    • Select a face of the rectangular polyhedron around the model as the limiting face.
    • Press the Delete key, and select any surface in the model as the limiting surface, for example a roof slope surface.
  3. Move the limiting face using the mouse.
  4. Select the limit point by clicking the left mouse button.
  5. Do either of the following:
    • Continue by limiting the model in the direction of another face.
    • Select Confirm. The limited model remains visible.
    • Press the Esc key. The entire model is restored visible.
