- PolyClip: Insert a check in the PolyClip checkbox in the Solid Modeling Options window to activate a Polygon Filter. This filter will set the solid model’s nodes that lie either inside or outside of a polygon to a user-defined or null value. The polygon can come from a variety of sources.
- Filter Type: Select the operation:
- Exterior: Choose this option to re-assign the values of nodes that lie outside a vertical projection of the polygon outline, to the replacement node value.
- Interior: Choose this option to re-assign the values of node that lie inside a vertical projection of the polygon outline, to the replacement node value.
- Polygon Defined By:
- Automatic: Choose this option to request that the program define the polygon automatically, fitted around the periphery of the control points.
- Offset Distance: Use this setting to expand the polygon outside the control points. Enter the map distance by which the polygon is to be enlarged.
-
- Polygon Table: Choose this option if the polygon boundary is defined in a Polygon Table in the project database. Click to the right to choose the name of the polygon table to be used.
- RwDat File: Choose this option if the polygon boundary coordinates are stored in an external RwDat file.
- Polygon (RwDat) File: Click the Browse button to browse for the name of the RwDat file which contains the listing of vertex coordinates.
- Rw2D File: Choose this option if the polygon(s) are defined in a RockPlot2D map.
- Polygon (Rw2D) File: Click the Browse button to browse for the name of the Rw2D file which contains the map polygon(s).
- Replacement Value for Removed Nodes: Type in a specific value for the outlying nodes. If you want to use the RockWorks Null value (-1e27), click the Set to Null button.
