Reply To: DESCTIVATING A CUTPLANE FROM 2D SCRIPT or similar method

[Barry Kelly]

If you can get the correct views with the cutting planes in the PROJECT2 command then in the 2D script you use it twice.

PROJECT2 - top view with desired cutting planes
if show_elevation = 1 then
    ADD2 x,y
    PROJECT2 - side view with desired cutting planes
    DEL 1
endif

If you need to use an actual CUTPLANE in the 3D script to get the projection you want then use the if/then command to control the CUTPLANE and CUTEND as I mensiomed before (but you won’t need the GLOB_VIEW_TYPE = 2).
The thing is you will need to turn off the CUTPLANE for one of the passes.
Again this may not be the best scripting but I would do this.

show_elevation_orig = show_elevation
show_elevation = 0   !!!!temporarily turn of show in elevation mode
PROJECT2 - top view with or without built in cutting planes
show_elevation = show_elevation_orig   !!!!set elevation mode back to original

if show_elevation = 1 then
    ADD2 x,y
    PROJECT2 - side view with or without built in cutting planes
    DEL 1
endif
