Description
The Cutaway Clipping feature allows for specification of cutaway viewing in the 3D View. The user selects a combination of the X, Y and Z axes as well as the clipping plane depth and direction. This feature is for visualization purposes only and will not affect the geometry or accuracy of the model.
The Cutaway Clipping feature is used in conjunction with Toggle Cutaway Clipping, which allows cutaway clipping to be rapidly toggled on or off.
