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
XY plane Z offset position
XZ plane Y offset position
YZ plane X offset position
plane defined by an angle about the X-axis offset angle with respect to the XY plane
plane defined by an angle about the Y-axis offset angle with respect to the XY plane
plane defined by an angle about the Z-axis offset angle with respect to the XZ plane

plane defined by the equation

Ax+By+Cz=D
