SetSectionPlanes Method

Description

Sets in the referenced View object the definitions of the active section planes [0 will remove all planes].

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub SetSectionPlanes( _ ByVal nPlanes As Long, _ Optional ByRef Positions As Variant, _ Optional ByRef Normals As Variant, _ Optional ByRef FaceStyles As Variant _ )

Parameters

nPlanes: Specifies the number of section planes to be created. To remove all section planes or display depths, set this parameter to 0.
Positions: Specifies section plane positions. This array contains a number of elements equal to three times the number specified by the nPlanes parameter in x,y,z,x,y,z order.
Normals: Specifies section plane normals. This array contains a number of elements equal to three times the number specified by the nPlanes parameter in x,y,z,x,y,z order.
FaceStyles: Specifies the color components of each plane's style. Each component has a range of 0 to 255. The array contains a number of elements equal to four times the number specified by the nPlanes parameter in red,green,blue,alpha,red,green,blue,alpha order.

Remarks

You can use section plane information to define real-time clipping planes. If display depths are defined, the SetSectionPlanes method removes them and replaces them with section planes.
