Std_ToggleClipPlane

There is a checkbox next to each option Clipping X, Clipping Y, Clipping Z, Clipping custom, to enable clipping in that direction. Maybe you don't see it because of the dark interface style sheet.

Thanks for the ping ;)

I have just fixed it and made a pull request.

If you can't wait to the latest build that includes the fix, you can manually replace the stylesheets, I have attached them to this post :)

Code: Select all

OSX = /Users/[YOUR_USER_NAME]/Library/Preferences/FreeCAD/Gui/Stylesheets/
WINDOWS = C:/[INSTALLATION_PATH]/FreeCAD/data/Gui/Stylesheets/
LINUX = /home/[YOUR_USER_NAME]/.FreeCAD/Gui/Stylesheets/
Cheers

Pinging is easy. Fixing the stylesheets and creating them at the first place is what requires kudos.

Thanks a lots!
