  2. Invoke the command either by:
    • Pressing the button Function cut filter.
    • Using the menu Results → Function cut filter.

  4. Either
    • If there is no filter function defined yet, press the Create button and select Plane or Sphere
    • Choose an existing filter function from the list. If needed, adjust the cut parameters to make sure that it intersects the model. Note that changed cut parameters will also change the parameters of the used filter function.

Note: A Field can only be set if a filter function exists and has been applied with Apply Changes. Alternatively you can reopen the filter dialog.
