VCarve 10 Pro - 3D Modeling - Clipping - Display Results

Post by AcBCDN »

Hi,

I just installed the upgrade and jumped into the Clipping option in 3D Modelling. It worked great!

However, in my test example I decided to change the vector to a different one.
- I removed clipping from the level.
- Selected the new vector
- Enabling clipping again
- The visible result was still using the old vector

So, I saved the model. close the file, then reloaded it. The clipping result is now as expected; it is using the new vector.

No sure if this is a desired affect.

Hi Andy,

You shouldn't need to reopen the file to reset the clipping. My suspicion would be that just moving one of the models around would force a reset. I'll try to reproduce your issue. Thanks for the report.

Is there a VCP10 tutorial (or Tips and Tricks) that goes into the clipping mode in a more detailed, or step by step instruction?
