Clipping Lines automatically

In addittion to the manual \clip is also possible to attach clipping behaviour to polygons. When generating files from 3D to a 2D hidden line result of the camera & sections manager (see chapter 11 viewing command \csmanag) automatically these types of polygons will clip unwanted lines. These type of polygons can be part of an object and placed from a (2D) library. They will work as automatic clipping shapes. For example sanitairy placed on a tiled floor will result as below:

\clipadd

Use this command to control the clipping behaviour of a polygon. It will erase the lines and arcs inside or outside a polygon on the XY plane. The polygon acts as the border defining where the elements are.

\clipall

Use this command to find all polygons with clip attribures inside your current file. It will process the clipping onto the 2D lines to be removed.
