{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/extension-section|Extension Description}}

This Module is used to clip one or different 3D Models according to a predetermined plane. <br>
Plane can be saved to be reused for other models. <br>
After clipping, the models are closed and can be saved as new 3D Models.<br>

===Scene===
{|
|[[Image:CMFSceneTab.png|500px]]
|This tab allows the user to display and hide all the models contained in Slicer's scene. <br>
There is an option to automatically set the view in Slicer to 3D only each time that the user is using this module. <br>
The "compute around bounding box" button will adjust the bounding box around all the displayed models in Slicer.
|}
===Clipping===
{|
|[[Image:CMFClippingTab.png|500px]]
|In this tab, the user can choose the different plans that will be used for the clipping. <br>
The three plans that can be used are the three basic plans representing the green, red and yellow slices of Slicer. <br>
The plans can then be moved in the 3D view. <br>
The clipping button will clip all the models contained in the scene based on the position of the plans selected. <br>
The undo button allow the user to come back one step before. <br>
|}
===Save===
{|
|[[Image:CMFSaveTab.png|500px]]
|The positions of the clipping plans can be saved and reloaded thanks to this tab.
|}
