L_Ruts Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I've been trying to write a LISP (I wont be surprised if this gets moved to the LISP section) to change my DVIEW clipping planes in a "section view". I was wondering how others adjust similar clipping planes. Our company standard is to use the DVIEW command and define the target, camera etc by selecting points through a LISP that was written before I started here. Using this method, we have to recut the entire section if the clipping planes need to change to include or exclude objects that have been modified. I have tried to use the 3DCLIP command but we have very large models and many XREFS that really bog down that command and it can sometimes be impossible to use. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

David Bethel Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I've never had any luck at automating AutoCAD's clip planes. I made a routine up years ago that slices things into faces. But is still a bit of trial and error. -David Quote
L_Ruts Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 Well, we use XREF'd models so simply slicing the model will not work. Also if one were to use your routine wouldnt you have to start all over again if something changes? Quote
