Grzegorz Krzemien Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hello, I have a problem with Clip Cube tool. While using clip cube to create sections it creates some kind of white mask (white filling) when cutting through solids. Objects does not appear if they are below cutting line and at the same time cutting line does not go through a hole in the solid. Everything works fine if cutting line goes through any kind of hole in the solid. Hope someone can help mi with that or at least explains why it works like this. Example file in attachments.

Peter Neufeld Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hello, It works fine here. Make sure you're on SP4 and if on Windows that you have the latest graphics driver installed. Cheers, Peter Clip Cube.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment
Grzegorz Krzemien Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 @Peter Neufeld, thanks for answer. But it is not the 3D view or OpenGL problem. My case is visible on the sheet layers (I have prepared one with explanations). You can see that there are differences between section viewports that go through solid with a hole and solid without a hole. I cannot see the chair in the section viewport on the sheet layer. Changing view from standard to orthogonal does not work. If I change rendering style to "Dashed Hidden Line" it works (chair is in place), but using option "Hidden lines" chair is gone some how but it should be visible. Quote Link to comment
Peter Neufeld Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I see now. Try going the Advanced Properties in the OIP and use the attributes of the original objects not the section class you have. Also, most importantly change the properties to infinite not finite.

Grzegorz Krzemien Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 It is not a solution. By changing cut plane to infinite you just show the top view. If I add "slab" to my solid (add an extrusion on top to mimic slab top view) chair is still not visible. More accurate model in attachment. Clip cube bug.vwx Quote Link to comment
Peter Neufeld Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm sorry you've lost me on this one as I can't work out what exactly is the problem then (and it's late here). I hope someone can step in. Good luck and all the best! Cheers, Peter Quote Link to comment
Grzegorz Krzemien Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 @Peter Neufeld, thank you for your time anyway 🙂 I really hope I will find where the problem is. Quote Link to comment
Peter Neufeld Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It would be helpful if you could leave a section line in the model to see where the section is taken from in order to understand it better, even though your notes are very thorough. Cheers, Peter Quote Link to comment
Grzegorz Krzemien Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 So I am using clip cube to create some kind of horizontal section (like a plane, but by using clip cube). The thing is that if I use clip cube to create plan (horizontal section) there is a bug. But if I use the same clip cube to create classic section (lets say vertical) it works perfectly.

Peter Neufeld Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It looks like it's something to do with the Hidden Objects Display settings. Cheers, Peter Quote Link to comment
Grzegorz Krzemien Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 @Peter Neufeld, I have checked this one and still it is not the answer. No matter how you manage visibility settings, objects that should be partially covered by a solid are visible like they would be on top of solid, not inside it. See the picture in the attachment.

Peter Neufeld Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hello (sorry I do not know your name), I think you have to document the problem including movies so that the engineers can reproduce and understand the problem. Make sure you submit it to https://www.vectorworks.net/support/bugsubmit Hidden Line Render doesn't work with the Clip Cube on Design layers so it might have something to do with that: At least with section viewports the 'Hidden Objects Display' ties in somehow. I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help - hopefully more learned friends on this forum will be able to. Cheers, Peter 1 Quote Link to comment
Grzegorz Krzemien Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 @Peter Neufeld, thank you so much for your time. I will do some more research and probably report this. Quote Link to comment
