FEM PostCreateFunctionPlane/en

Description
The FEM PostCreateFunctionPlane function defines how a mesh is cut geometrically. It is used by Function cut filter and  Region clip filter.

Create a plane function

 * 1) Either press the  button or select the  option from the menu.
 * 2) The Implicit function task panel is opened.
 * 3) Optionally set the values for the origin and the direction of the section plane.
 * 4) Press the  button to finish.

Edit a plane function
If the Plane object in the 3D view is hidden, select the Plane object in the tree view and press  to make it visible, like in this example:



Move the plane

 * Click and drag the big white cuboid to move the plane along its normal vector.
 * Click and drag the white grid.

Rotate and tilt the plane

 * Click and drag a line that connects the small cubes with the the big white cuboid to rotate and tilt the plane around its origin.

Scale the plane

 * Click and drag one of the 6 small cubes to scale the plane. However, since the object is an infinite plane, the size does not matter.
