Clip Plane

Keeps the part of a mesh on one side of a plane defined by an origin and a normal direction. The normal can be typed in the local spherical basis at the origin, or wired in as a 3-element array.

Inputs

Port	Accepts	Required	Description
`x`	dataset	required	The mesh (or any dataset, promoted) to filter

Parameter ports

Added from the Parameters pane (⊕). While connected, each drives its parameter.

Port	Accepts	Mode	Description
`normal` Normal	primitive(array)	opt-in	Normal as a 3-element array, read in the current direction frame; overrides the Normal row while connected
`origin`	primitive(array)	opt-in drives `origin`	Drives the Origin parameter while connected

Outputs

dataset(mesh)

Parameters

The Parameters pane shows only the parameters relevant to the current settings.

Parameter	Kind	Default	Choices / range	Notes
Origin `origin`	vector	none		⇄ port
Direction frame `direction_frame`	choice	`cartesian`	cartesian \| spherical
Normal `normal`	vector	`(1, 0, 0)`
Normal `normal_sph`	vector	`(1, 0, 0)`
Invert `invert`	bool	`true`
Space `space`	choice	`spherical`	spherical \| cartesian
