Hi
We are using KernelCAD 5.2. I am looking into upgrading to the latest v7.*. I do not see clipping planes sample or interface for it. Is it still supported?
Thanks

Re: Clipping planes
Hello
Clipping planes should sill work with v7.1. If you install (or Update Registration) 7.1 and run Clip sample from v5.2 (make sure Clip.glm is copied where the software is looking for it. You will get a message) it should work.
Old KC interfaces are still supported.
The story is that clipping planes are a disputed territory. There are only fix clipping planes in any (as far as I know) rendering engine like DirectX, etc.
Our current renderer uses clipping planes itself internally and kind of deprecated them. DGK also uses them in some advanced (rare) operations. So, we have downgraded them also. One thing is that we have not added _DG analogue to ICLip... interfaces and do not mention them in documentation.
If your application worked, you probably do not have any interference with those features.
Regards
