Bases: object
Represents the collection of section planes used by graphics
Overview
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Add |
Adds the given SectionPlane object to the collection to modify the view. Currently only 6 SectionPlane objects in the collection can be activated at once. |
Clear |
Clears the collection of all SectionPlane objects. |
CreateSectionPlane |
Creates a SectionPlane based on a coordinate system and plane orientation. |
Remove |
Removes the requested SectionPlane from the collection. |
RemoveAt |
Removes the SectionPlane at the given index. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Capping |
Gets or Sets the Capping style of the Section Plane |
Count |
The number of section planes in the collection. |
ShowHatching |
Controls whether to render hatch lines (the black parallel lines) on the capped surfaces of section planes. Default: true |
ShowWholeElement |
Gets or Sets the Element Visibility of the Section Plane |
