Cutting Procedure
Enable Box to see the wire-frame box with the colored corners. The color circles represent octants identified by the colored bullets in the corners of the wire box. In the example above the input image was used to add a texture to the oblique plane.The Int box enables interpolation of the texture information.
Note that the selected plane 1 is placed perpendicular to the path line. The Position slider allows moving the selected plane along the active Path. The SR object used to generate the skeleton (paths) is set to ful transparency.
With the Bound to path, Arrow site and In circle boxes enabled the Cut button is activated. The Cut button starts a process which clears all information of the selected object on the defined side and area and refreshes the rendering scene. The part of the SR object on the same side as the arrow head is cut from the scene. There is now an indication in the object tree which objects have been cut:
Please note that in the capture above parts on both sides of the cutting plane were cut. This occurs because the SR object was created using a region growing algorithm and the different paths of the skeleton are connected to each other. Particularly, the path 146 which is bound with the cutting plane is connected with all the other available paths.
