Notilus Clipper — clipping planes for Rhinoceros
← All products

See inside your vessel,
one clipping plane at a time.

Adjust, save and restore complex clipping planes effortlessly in Rhinoceros — precise section views of vessel geometry, ready when you need them.

— What's inside

Every tool you need for section views, in Rhino.

From rapid plane adjustment to saved scene libraries — pictured here as it runs natively inside Rhinoceros.

— How it fits

Clipper in the marine engineering pipeline.

  1. Select Pick clipping axis

    Choose X / Y / Z and which side to clip — Left/Right, Back/Front, Top/Bottom — straight from one panel.

  2. Adjust Move the plane

    Drag the slider, click a point, enter a coordinate or type a math expression — the section snaps where you want it.

  3. Save Capture the scene

    Save the clipped view as a named scene — frame, deck, section view, anything that needs to be revisited.

  4. Restore Switch & share

    Double-click between saved scenes for instant section switches — perfect for design reviews and walk-throughs.
