Section Plane/Box

[justin.exavier]

Hi everyone!

 

Don't know in which section to post this

I'm checking out this peace of awesome software to see if we can use it in our Engineering Firm.

A function that would be very useful is to create section planes, boxes like Revit or Twinmotion (or other geometry) with the option to manually include/exclude objects.

 

Is there an option or workaround to do this in Unigen?

For the Bit masking funtions I can't find the "cutout intersection" when I select  a mesh object. does this function only work with the grass object or do I have to some how create a "cutout intersection" bit mask?

 

Thank you!

Hello Justin,

Cutout intersection wouldn't help here, it usually used for grass: https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.9/objects/objects/grass/settings#masking

As for the section plane, have you checked our Cross section sample? It's available in the downloadable samples.

Hey morbid,

Thanx for the quick reply.

But i can't find this example scene anywhere. I searched all folders. could you tell me where i can find it? Maybe its not available anymore, in that case can you point me to where I can find the cross section objects?

Hi Justin,

You can find this sample in SDK Browser: Demos -> Samples 2.9.x -> Crossection.

There is no specific type of objects for that, you need to configure mesh_base material in special way. Only single cutting plane is available for now, no custom shapes like sphere or box yet implemented.

Thanks!

Thanx silent,

 

I'll try it out later using the ling you've provided.

Still can't find that Demo scene though
