Creating a View Clipping Plane in HM

Is there a feature to create a view section or clipping plane in HM and dynamically vary the same? If I have something like a closed cylinder and I want to view the contents of the FE model inside (or along the cross-section), I can mask the elements but I cannot make the elements appear or disappear dynamically? So I was wondering if there is a feature in HM to create a clipping plane and have the ability to move that clipping plane along an axis/line and elements would appear/disappear based on movement?

    Hi,

    You can try with the Hidden Line Panel in Post page, where you can select the plane (xy, yz or xz) , check the trim planes option and click show plot.

    Hello

    With Hidden Line Plane we can obtain a cross section but we can not use this section for measurement. Could you please show me how to create a plane view (for example XY plane wher Z=10)?
