cutaway model

Post by rpmaguire » 16 May 2014, 23:17

Hi there,
When doing a cutaway type image on a fairly complex model, Is there a way to apply a slice and have the solid areas capped?

I'm thinking of using a grid and a difference boolean operation to fill in the holes, Just wondering if there is a better way to do this?

THanks,
-Ryan

What about using cap hole ?
I think it is in SI 2013 and later.

If you use something previous that version, you can try the cap hole script that you can find somewhere outhere, or rray's RCTools Cap Marked Hole feature.

Normally the cap hole would suffice, however this file was a .IGS that didn't import properly and there is breaks in the mesh all over.

I wish the cap hole feature had a "cap from selected points" option, or a "mesh from points"
