pcut

The cut module allows you to create a subset of your input which is of the same dimensionality.  This means that volumetric, surface, line and point inputs will have subsetted outputs of the same object type.  This is unlike slice which decreases dimensionality.

The cut module is used to cut away part of the input field using a cutting plane defined by one of four methods

The cut module cuts through an input field using a slicing plane defined by one of four methods

• 1. A vertical plane defined by an X or Easting coordinate

  2. A vertical plane defined by a Y or Northing coordinate

  3. A Horizontal plane defined by a Z coordinate

  4. An arbitrarily positioned Rotatable plane which requires:

     1. A 3D point through which the slicing plane passes.  This point can be displayed using the Reference Spherewhose size, visibility and transparency can be controlled.   Please note that the same slicing result can be achieved with an infinite number of 3D points, all of which would be on the same slicing plane.

     2. A Dip direction

     3. A Strike direction

NOTES:

• The cut module may be controlled with the driven sequence module.

• Only the orthogonal cut methods (Easting, Northing and Horizontal) may be used with driven sequence.

 

The cutting plane essentially cuts the data field into two parts and sends only the part above or below the plane to the output ports (above and below are terms which are defined by the normal vector of the cutting plane). The output of cut is the subset of the model from the side of the cut plane specified.

Module Input Ports

• Z Scale [Number] Outputs Z Scale (vertical exaggeration) to other modules
• Input Field [Field] Accepts a data field.

Module Output Ports

• Z Scale [Number] Outputs Z Scale (vertical exaggeration) to other modules
• Cut Field [Field] Outputs the field with "cut" data to later use for subsetting
• Output Field [Field] Outputs the subsetted field
• Output Object [Renderable]: Outputs to the viewer.
