Adjust Front Clipping Adjusts only the front clipping plane. The line near
the bottom of the window adjusts the front clipping plane. If a check mark
is displayed next to Front Clipping On, you can see the clipping in the 3D
Orbit view as you move the line up or down.
Adjust Back Clipping Adjusts only the back clipping plane. The line near the
top of the window adjusts the back clipping plane. If a check mark is displayed
next to Back Clipping On, you can see the clipping in the 3D Orbit view as
you move the line up or down.
Create Slice Causes the back and front clipping planes to move together,
which shows you a “slice” of the objects in the 3D Orbit view. Adjust the front
and back clipping planes, and then choose Create Slice. You can then move
the front and back clipping planes as one unit.
Pan Displays the pan cursor, a hand cursor that you can use to pan the clipping
plane. Hold down the pick button and drag the cursor in any direction. The
pan cursor stays active until you click another button.
Zoom Displays the zoom cursor, a magnifying-glass cursor that you can use
to enlarge or reduce the clipping plane. To enlarge the image, hold down the
pick button and drag the cursor toward the top of Adjust Clipping Planes
window. To reduce the image, hold down the pick button and drag the cursor
toward the bottom of the window.
Front Clipping On Turns the front clipping plane on or off. A check mark
indicates that the front clipping plane is on, and you can see the results of
moving the line that adjusts the front clipping plane. Choose this option
again to turn the front clipping plane off and remove the check mark.
