Point Cloud Horizontal Section

    Ribbon: Point Clouds – Clip and Section – Section >  Horizontal Section

    Toolbar: Clip and Section 3DScan >  Horizontal section

 Command line: NPC_SECT_HORIZ

The horizontal section can be made in any form, including the form that is the result of an already completed section. The cutting plane will be perpendicular to the plane of the current view.

The section is specified by two points. If the model space is divided into several viewports, then it will be necessary to specify in which viewport the result of the section will be displayed.

The first point determines the vertical plane with which the cloud will be cut. The second point determines the depth of the section and the position of the observer in the resulting view.

To create a horizontal section:

1.    Go to the viewport with the result of any section or any view. The cutting plane will be perpendicular to the plane of the current view.

2.    Run the Horizontal section command.

3.    Indicate the point defining the horizontal plane with which the cloud will be cut.

4.    Specify the second point that determines the depth of the section.

5.    If there are multiple viewports in model space, select the target viewport to display the section.
