FAQ: Does PyroSim support a clipping feature?

Unfortunatly, the current version of PyroSim does not offer a visual clipping feature. It is possible that you may be able to accomplish something similar using some of PyroSim's other features.

You can hide any geometric object or group (e.g. walls or a roof) by right-clicking an object and selecting the Hide option. Obstructions that are hidden when you run FDS will be present in the simulation, but will be invisible in the Smokeview results visualization as well.

You can also use the Roam navigation tool (on the toolbar, the icon resembles a person) instead of the default orbit navigation tool. The roam tool allows you to "fly" into the model using a 1st person perspective.

Clipping planes are on our proposed features list, so you can look forward to them in a future release.
