Clip By Solid

Use the Clip By Solid option to clip design data found inside or outside of a nominated solid triangulation. For example, you may have a point cloud (representing samples) and a stope design. You could use the Clip By Solid option to only retain those points found inside the stope, deleting all points found outside of the solid.

This option can also be accessed by selecting the Clip By Solid button from the Delete toolbar. The Delete toolbar is a "sub toolbar" and can either be accessed through the Modify toolbar or through using the Toolbar Visibility option (under the Tools menu).


Instructions

On the Design menu, point to Object Edit, and then click Clip by Solid.

  1. Select the clipping triangulation. The nominated triangulation will be highlighted and you will be asked to confirm that the correct object has been selected.

Note:    The solid triangulation must be closed properly for this option to work.

  1. You will then need to specify whether you want to delete the points found inside or outside of the clipping triangulation.
  2. The Multiple Selection box is then displayed. From the displayed dialog box, nominate a selection method followed by the necessary objects. Once the objects have been chosen, the Multiple Selection box will be redisplayed allowing you to select more objects for clipping. Cancel when you have finished clipping objects.
  3. You will then need to confirm whether or not the points have been correctly deleted.
