Slicing 3D Object

Hi All,

 

I'm new to playing with 3D objects, I want to slice the 3D object with respect to its axis.

 

Once I slice from the axis I should be able to see the remaining portion of the object.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi gnshmrthy,

 

use a sharp knife or even a circular/band saw to slice your 3D objects and you can see the remaining portions in an instant… 😄

 

What exactly is your problem?

Which software do you use?

 

Best regards,
GerdW

I have an STL file, and loaded the STL file into 3D object. I use Clip Plane option to slice/clip through the object.

 

But I done get it right way as shown in image.

I also cannot color the plane that I'm clipping.

 

Initially I was using LabVIEW 2012 later I found that LV2013 had more example, so I downloaded 2016 and working on it now.

Thanks.

I am not sure if you still need help or what you mean by

 

"I also cannot color the plane that I'm clipping."

 

Just in case, here is some information: 

 

STL format typically does not contain color information. You might want to use .PLY, .OBJ, or any other format that are used for 3D rendering.

Below is an example taken from here.

Hope it helps.
