"Solid" clipping plane

[ickby]

Very nice progress, impressive! I imagine if this is controlled by the Part viewprovider one could enable th esolid clipping really only for solids, and not shells. That would be wonderful as this gives realistic results and a good debug possibility

Is this possible without blocking the Task-panel as the original clipping tool does?

Maybe the SoClipPlanManip node could be useful. I think drawing the cap is not that important for this task.

Code: Select all

from pivy import coin
sg = Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getSceneGraph()
clip_plane = coin.SoClipPlaneManip()
sg.insertChild(clip_plane, 0)
# sg.removeChild(clip_plane, 0)

Very nice! I had time to look at and use this again and love it! Would be nice if this would be included as standard feature next to "clipping plane" (without blocking the Task-panel. This is very, very, very (= extremely ) useful for FEM-wb.

There is some progress in the German section of the forum. Please have a look here:

Thanks freecad-heini-1, I know this post.
The main difference to the scripts from e.g. Mario is that here the original object is shown/clipped while with the scripts in the post above the names of the faces change because the solids are "cutted". For boundary and body selection in FEM it is necessary to get the original names of the faces and solids of the original shape.

Hello,
has there been any development on the issue of solid clipping plane? Can this feature be integrated in the clipping pane form, sooner or later?

Thank you!

it is integrated in FEM Workbench of FreeCAD 0.18 already.

Shouldn’t it be integrated as an horizontal feature for all workbenches?
Anyway, it’s nice to know that it is already working somewhere (I’m going to check it right now)

Cheers

EDIT: Oh, it’s not solid for me on Mac... it’s really easy to use, I really like the manipulator but the clipping plane doesn’t make it solid

Can you show us how to use it, please?

Yes, please! It would be very useful.

After FEM-run and creating post-processing pipeline:
hide pipeline in model-tree.
select a face on body (here Pad002)
push "clipping-plane"-button.
adjust clipping with the sliders.
