Hi everyone, hope you can help.

I have a 3D structure that falls inside the boundaries of a cube. I am trying to look at only a part of it by clipping away stuff around it. Say the box has dimensions (x,y,z) = (300,300,300). I want to look at a portion that is defined by the diagonal in the x-y plane, for z<=50.

So I tried to Collect the following:
ClipPlane with point=[150 150 50] and normal = [1 1 0]
ClipBox with point = [0 0 50] and normal = [0 0 1]
These two modules both have an input from ShowBoundary. The output from Collect goes to Color (and then image).

If I use just ClipBox, I get the portion below z=50. If I use just ClipPlane, I get the diagonal section that I want , but for all z. Not surprisingly, when I Collect them, I get both. I tried using them in series, but it gave me an error message: "Nested Clipped objects not supported". How can I get just that small chunk in the corner?

Please help!

Thanks,
Carin
