class GeometryCullingSettings

Settings for volumetric triangle culling functionality. These settings control the clipping planes and geometries that are used for triangle culling the output of Simplygon scene processors.

Properties

PropertyDescription
ClippingGeometrySelectionSetIDWhich SelectionSet containing geometries will be used for clipping. Set name is prioritized over id if both are set.
ClippingGeometrySelectionSetNameWhich SelectionSet containing geometries will be used for clipping. Set name is prioritized over id if both are set.
ClippingPlaneSelectionSetIDWhich SelectionSet containing sceneplanes will be used for clipping. Set name is prioritized over id if both are set.
ClippingPlaneSelectionSetNameWhich SelectionSet containing sceneplanes will be used for clipping. Set name is prioritized over id if both are set.
NameThe name of the GeometryCullingSettings object. (Inherited from Object)
UseClippingGeometryIf set, the geometries defined in the matching selection set will be used to clip the process geometry. What side of the geometry that will be culled is determined by the triangle facing, so make sure your winding is correct and that triangles point "up" toward the space you want to keep. Inconsistent triangle winding or meshes that do not have a clear local inside and outside will cause inconsistent results when used as clipping geometries.
UseClippingPlanesIf true the ScenePlanes in the input scene (or the planes selected by the selection set settings) will be used to clip the mesh.

Which SelectionSet containing geometries will be used for clipping. Set name is prioritized over id if both are set.

ClippingPlaneSelectionSetID

Which SelectionSet containing sceneplanes will be used for clipping. Set name is prioritized over id if both are set.

Name

The name of the GeometryCullingSettings object. (Inherited from Object)

UseClippingGeometry

If set, the geometries defined in the matching selection set will be used to clip the process geometry. What side of the geometry that will be culled is determined by the triangle facing, so make sure your winding is correct and that triangles point "up" toward the space you want to keep. Inconsistent triangle winding or meshes that do not have a clear local inside and outside will cause inconsistent results when used as clipping geometries.

UseClippingPlanes

If true the ScenePlanes in the input scene (or the planes selected by the selection set settings) will be used to clip the mesh.
