Hi,

The clipping planes only work as planes along a specified axis, they can't be used to create a cyindrical shape.

However yuou could use the imported geometry bin groups. If you create a CAD shape that you want you can import this in the Setup Selections in the Analyst. Then you can colour and display particles in this area.

Video shows the process.
