The term 'clipping' denotes the possibility to visually cut into a volume object in the 3D display area.

Clipping tools may be planes or boxes, and clipped areas can be made completely transparent to hide them or semi-tranparent.

Objects can be freely positioned and rotated within the 2D and 3D display areas using the mouse. Alternatively, it is also possible to achieve a precise position by entering the parameters numerically. This applies not only to the volume data and CAD models, but also to all other objects such as light sources and clipping tools.
