Hi, I am having problems with system that is basicly constructed
from 5000 glyphs in a cube. I want have closer look inside to the system
but ClipPlane is not working. When I try to use it to AutoGlyph's
output the image does not make sense anymore.
I managed to use the ClipPlane to clip a simple cube.
Is it possible to use ClipPlane to exclude some region from AutoGlyphs
output, if not how this problem could be solved ?

By not making sense, do you mean ClipPlane is cutting through or clipping
some of your glyphs? That is what I assume.
Unfortunately, ClipPlane's effect is applied during rendering, so you can
not simply use it before AutoGlyph.
One solution is to use Include to specify which positions to include or
exclude:
Mark(Positions) -> Include -> Unmark; supply a Vector to Include's min or
max input.
One limitation of this method is that clipping can only occur perpendicular
to the axes. Remember to also input the entire data set (probably from
Import) to AutoGlyph's min input, otherwise the glyph sizes will change as
you exclude different portions of the original data set.
