Command line: NPC_CLIP_SPHERE, NPC_CLIP_SPHERE_INV
The command clips a cloud by sphere set by central point and radius.
A cloud can be clipped in one viewport (source) with display of the result in the other viewport (target) specified by the user. When displaying the clip result in the target viewport, the same view will be set that was in the source viewport when performing the clip operation.
Command prompts:
| Enter central point: | Specify the clip sphere center. |
|---|---|
| Enter radius or [Invert]: | Specify the clip sphere radius. To invert the clip area, select the Invert option. In this case, the area outside the sphere will be clipped. |
| Select view: | Specify the target viewport, in which to display the clip. This prompt is displayed in case there are several viewports in the model space. |
As a result of the Clip by Sphere (inside) command, the cloud area inside the sphere will be clipped.
As a result of the Clip by Sphere (outside) command, the cloud area outside the sphere will be clipped.
Only display of the cloud in the target viewport is changed as a result of the command work, the cloud object itself is not changed. Display of the cloud in other viewports remains the same.
