The '''Std ToggleClipPlane''' command temporarily hides objects and parts of objects on one side of up to three virtual planes in a [[3D_view|3D view]].
<!--T:3-->
A '''clipping plane''' is a plane that divides the object space in two half spaces. All object parts in one half space are visible, parts in the other half space are invisible. The objects look like sliced and interior details become visible.

====Show non hollow solid==== <!--T:4-->
By default solids cut with Clipping Plane are shown as hollow.
To show non-hollow solids, a workarounds could be used. Change the lighting of the solids from Two Side to One Side. Then the inner part of the solid will be dark and not look hollow. To do this change property {{MenuCommand|{{StdMenu|[[Std View Menu|View]]}} → Base → Lightning}} to One side for parts you want to show as non-hollow.


==Notes==
<!--T:13-->
Another possibility would be to leave the Lightning Two Sided and change the color of the inner solid by activating {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences → Display → Enable backlight color}}. But with this the shading effect will be still there.
