SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

ThatOpen BIM workflows require a robust way to slice complex models and generate annotated floor plans without relying on deprecated v2 Patterns. This skill provides a battle-tested approach to configure and manage clipping planes and floor-plan views using the Clipper, ClipStyler, and Views components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Programmatic creation and manipulation of clipping planes via Clipper to expose interior geometry.
  • Floor-plan generation and camera-aligned views through Views with orthographic projection when needed.
  • Edge styling and visualization using ClipStyler with per-view styling capabilities.
  • Migration guidance from v2 patterns to v3 components to ensure forward-compatible workflows.

Quick Start

Create a clipping plane from a normal and coplanar point, apply a ClipStyler style, and open a floor-plan view.

Frequently Asked Questions about thatopen-impl-clipping-plans

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate orthographic floor plans from BIM models in ThatOpen?▼

To generate orthographic floor plans in ThatOpen, you use the Views component to create camera-aligned views while applying section cuts to expose interior geometry using the Clipper component.

Can I apply custom edge styling to BIM section cuts in ThatOpen?▼

Yes, you can apply custom edge styling and visualization to BIM section cuts in ThatOpen by using the ClipStyler component, which provides per-view styling capabilities for your clipped models.

How do I migrate from deprecated v2 Patterns to v3 components for BIM clipping?▼

To migrate from deprecated v2 Patterns to v3 components for BIM clipping, you replace deprecated workflows with the forward-compatible Clipper, ClipStyler, and Views components to manage section cuts and floor plans.

Does the ThatOpen Clipper support multi-model scene clipping for architectural projects?▼

Yes, the ThatOpen Clipper supports multi-model scene clipping for architectural BIM projects, allowing you to coordinate cross-section exploration and section cuts across complex multi-model environments.

How do I create a clipping plane from a normal and coplanar point in a BIM viewer?▼

You create a clipping plane in a ThatOpen BIM viewer by programmatically defining a normal and coplanar point via the Clipper, then opening a floor-plan view to visualize the section cut.
