Description

Displays the results on a sphere or a plane cutting through the model.

Usage

1. Select a previously created result pipeline.
2. Invoke the command in one of the several ways:
   • Press the Function cut filter button.
   • Select the Results → Function cut filter option from the menu.
3. Adjust the Result display options like for the result pipeline. Hide that pipeline to see the effect of a Function Cut Filter.
4. Press the Create button and select Plane or Sphere or choose the existing plane/sphere from the expandable list. If needed, adjust the parameters of the plane/sphere to make sure that it intersects the model.
5. Results will be displayed on the surface of the plane/sphere.
6. Click the OK button to finish the command.
