Attribute Details

active : Bool

Returns or sets the object activeness.

Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents active too.

displayMode : Enum (above, below, both)

Returns and sets the display mode of the section plane.

The available graphic display modes are “Above”, “Below” or “Both”.

Graphics above, below or above & below will be hidden.

distance : Double (units=”length”)

Returns and sets the distance from origin to plane along normal.

equation : Attribute

List of four float values, as an equation to the section plane describing:

  1. The location of the of the plane.
  2. The orientation of the plane.
  3. The normal of the plane.
  4. The distance from origin to plane along normal.

location : Location (units=”length”)

Returns and sets the intersection location of plane and plane normal passing through origin.

name : Attribute

Returns or sets the name of the object.

It can be any text string, including spaces, although it’s best to avoid using the following characters: ” ‘ * ? and $.

While these characters are allowed, they could create difficulties when you export the model to other applications.

normal : Direction

Sets the normal of the plane.

thickness : Double (units=”length”)

Returns and sets the thickness of the sectional plane.

visible : Bool

Determines whether the object is visible in the modeling window.

Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents visible too.
