Clip

Removes geometry on one side of a plane.

See also: Cookie, Poly Split, Edge Divide, Surfsect

The clip tool also allows you to group geometry on either side of a plane, or cut geometry along a plane.

This tool is useful for modeling characters when used with the mirror tool, as it allows you to work on half of the character and mirror the other half. This ensures that the character is symmetrical.

Using Clip

  1. Select the object you want to to clip.

  2. Click the Clip tool on the Polygon tab.

  3. Specify the plane in which you would like the object to be clipped by moving the clip handle or clicking on the handle and choosing an axis in the align handle menu.

    This tool automatically clips half of the object. Moving the clip handle allows you to change how much of the object gets clipped.
