viewport clipping controls?

Submitted by andrewjohn81 on Wed, 2009-09-02 06:49

I'm looking to control viewport clipping without having to make a camera. I'd really just like a couple sliders, near and far clipping, or spinners would be fine too. But basically I'd like that for any non-camera viewport I have active.
If it's easier...just perspective viewport is fine.

Clipping planes are pretty nice to be able to check out mid sections of your models sometimes. But they are currently not too easy to control because you have to keep going back and forth.

Any takers? Might be a good idea to have it default to the closest near and far values. Maybe use gw.getHitherCoord and gw.getYonCoord for that?

Hmm, just enable viewport

Hmm, just enable viewport clipping??? There you have your sliders... Or am I missing something'? This option is available in MAX right out of the box!!! Works with any perspective or orthographic view....
