Description
A clipping plane is a plane that divides the object space in two half spaces. All object parts in one half space are visible, parts in the other half space are invisible. The objects look like sliced and interior details become visible.
Usage
The clipping plane is activated by the View → Clipping plane.
Options
Show non hollow solid
By default solids cut with Clipping Plane are shown as hollow. To show non-hollow solids, a workarounds could be used. Change the lighting of the solids from Two Side to One Side. Then the inner part of the solid will be dark and not look hollow. To do this change property View → Base → Lightning to One side for parts you want to show as non-hollow.
Another possibility would be to leave the Lightning Two Sided and change the color of the inner solid by activating Edit → Preferences → Display → Enable backlight color. But with this the shading effect will be still there. See Forum Thread Clipping Plane Always Shows Model as a Shell?
