Arch CutPlane

[rockn]

Hi DeepSOIC, thanks for testing !
Actually this tool is for Arch Object only. So remove fonction is specific to Arch object. I could check how it can make the bool operation if the object are not Arch type.

Could take a long

About color, it seem that set the color of cutVolume can do the tricks.

good job rockn! I think you're now the newest freecad developer!

deepsoic, my sketchup version doesn't seem to "fill" the cut like yours.. Did you do something special to get it?

[DeepSOIC]

Yes, I've set up the default style to have back sides of faces painted red. It was very helpful to model for 3d printing. Now I use FreeCAD

Hm that's an interesting solution...
If you set the lighting property to "one face" and use the view->clipping plane, you get quite a cool section!

Thanks Yorik, your advice are really helpfull. I am happy to take part of this side of the adventure

DeepSoic, I managed to make the tool work with Part object. And as the cutVolume is Red now, it color the face of cutting face.

This does not affect behavior with Arch object. Except the CutVolume is now red and 75 transparency.

Dreams come true!
Next up - active live section while editing the model?

If you want to test
https://github.com/wood-galaxy/FreeCAD_ ... -cutplane2
branche arch-cutplane2

I think it demand more work for the live preview

I made an implementation of the preview CutVolume
