Cut plane: definition (structure)
Definition
A cut plane is defined by:·
- a name (and a comment)
- a type
- specific characteristics belonging to a type
- a coordinate system for definition
- attributes of visibility
Name
The name to identify the cut plane is set by the user during the creation of this one.
A comment (optional) can be added to the name.
Type of cut planes
The different types of cut planes and the characteristics useful for their description are presented in the table below.
| Type | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| All types | coordinate system for definition |
| Type | Characteristics |
