A function cut filter with a sphere as cut function.
The original pipeline is the semi-transparent object.

Usage

  1. Select a previously created result pipeline.
  2. Invoke the command either by:
  3. Adjust the Result display options like for the result pipeline. You might need to hide the pipeline to see the effect of the filter in the preview.
  4. Either
    • If there is no filter function defined yet, press the Create button and select Plane or Sphere
    • Choose an existing filter function from the list. If needed, adjust the cut parameters to make sure that it intersects the model. Note that changed cut parameters will not change the parameters of the filter function. (Therefore one can use the same function for different filters without the need to create a new one.)
  5. The results will be displayed on the surface of the filter function.
  6. Click the OK button to finish the command.
