Setting Near and Far Clipping Planes

Post by TUMAAA »

Hi Daniel,

Is it possible to adjust the near and far clipping planes of the camera using the mouse? If not, is it at least possible to adjust it using some other kind of way? As you may know this is a very essential feature a 3D viewer should have.

Thanks,
TUMAAA

Nope, you're the first to ask ;)

I guess we'll add this to the TODO list.

The near clipping plane can be adjusted with the same shortcut as Meshlab (ALT + mouse wheel).

The other shortcuts are:
'CTRL + mouse wheel': change the point size
'SHIFT + mouse wheel': change the field of view (perspective mode)

There's no mechanism to change the far clipping plane.
