Polygon clip/trim

Post by gerard12 »

Dear all

This is a bit of explanation about the KernelCAD Light update posted last week. It contains new polygon clip feature implemented in this particular version on request of one of our partners.

The operation allows defining a polygon in the plane of screen with few clicks and clips the object(s) under it. The polygon can also be open of just define a single infinite line (and 3D plane). When it is closed and has Clock Wise orientation the operation cuts off a hole in the surface.

So operating is versatile. It is similar to the free hand cut operation, but uses polygons instead, which can be adjusted before execution. It can be executed programmatically or from the context menu. See what’s new in the installed help for more information

We have already merged this to 5.0 branch. Pls get in touch if you need it in v4.3 or v4.4

Gerard
