PlanarClipMaskSettings Class

Describes how to mask the geometry of one GeometricModel for display. The mask is produced by projecting geometry from any number of other models - optionally filtered by SubCategory or by a set of specific GeometricElements - onto a plane. Regions of the masked model that intersect the mask are rendered partially or completely transparent. This is useful for, e.g., making subsurface geometry visible below the background map, or clipping out portions of a reality model that intersect a design model.

note Currently reality models (including background maps and terrain) can be masked, but design models can only produce masks.

see DisplayStyleSettings.planarClipMasks to define clip masks for a DisplayStyle.

see ContextRealityModel.planarClipMaskSettings to apply a clip mask to a context reality model.

Methods

Name Description
clone(changedProps?: PlanarClipMaskProps): PlanarClipMaskSettings Create a copy of this TerrainSettings, optionally modifying some of its properties.  
equals(other: PlanarClipMaskSettings): boolean    
toJSON(): PlanarClipMaskProps Create JSON object representing this PlanarClipMaskSettings  
createByPriority(priority: number, transparency?: number): PlanarClipMaskSettings Static Create settings that mask by priority.  
createForElementsOrSubCategories(mode: IncludeSubCategories | IncludeElements | ExcludeElements, elementOrSubCategoryIds: Iterable<string>, modelIds?: Iterable<string>, transparency?: number): PlanarClipMaskSettings Static Create settings that filter by element or subcategory.  
createForModels(modelIds: undefined | Iterable<string>, transparency?: number): PlanarClipMaskSettings Static Create settings for PlanarClipMaskMode.Models.  
fromJSON(json?: PlanarClipMaskProps): PlanarClipMaskSettings Static Create a new PlanarClipMaskSettings object from its JSON representation.  

Properties

Name Type Description
compressedModelIds Accessor ReadOnly undefined | string The compressed representation of PlanarClipMaskSettings.modelIds.  
defaults Static PlanarClipMaskSettings A default PlanarClipMask which masks nothing.  
isValid Accessor ReadOnly boolean Returns true if masking is enabled.  
mode Readonly PlanarClipMaskMode Specifies how the mask geometry is produced.  
modelIds Readonly undefined | OrderedId64Iterable For any mode other than PlanarClipMaskMode.Priority, the Ids of the GeometricModels containing the geometry used to produce the mask.  
priority Readonly undefined | number For PlanarClipMaskMode.Priority, the priority value.  
subCategoryOrElementIds Readonly undefined | OrderedId64Iterable For PlanarClipMaskMode.IncludeElements or PlanarClipMaskMode.ExcludedElements, the Ids of the GeometricElements to include or exclude from masking;  
transparency Readonly undefined | number A value between 0 and 1 indicating an override for mask transparency.
