View > Display > Activate Clipping Volume

Toggles the display of a loaded clipping volume. This command is always enabled at the start of a work session and works with both the quick 3D and the classic clipping volume methods. The clipping volume that is activated by this command depends on the method you used. When toggled off, the entire model is visible.

The table below describes the action of the Activate Clipping Volume command when one or both methods are used to create a clipping volume.

Yes

Toggle on and off a default clipping volume defined in the following ways:

1. The range of the selected display sets in the Project Manager.

2. Otherwise, the clipping volume is defined by the visible range of the currently-highlighted object.

3. The clipping volume is defined using half the visible range of the model in the Main view.

The first column, Clip Volume Annotation(s) Defined, shows that the classic method was used to create clipping volume annotations. The column, 3D Clipping Volume Wireframe, indicates that a clipping or inverse clipping volume has been set using the 3D wireframe box. The last column describes the resulting action performed by the Activate Clipping Volume command. For example, the last row of the table describes the case where no clipping has been set using either method.

The following snapshots illustrate how this command affects the model display.
