Set plane corridor

You use this function to set the projection distances from and to the current plane. The data between the extents towards and away is displayed in Graphics.

Usually, you use this function to set the initial projection distances, when you first define the planes. When you save planes, the projections distances are saved with each plane.

You can also use this function to temporarily change the projection distances from an existing plane to a new value. To keep the temporary distances when you view other planes, use LOCK PLANE CORRIDOR. After you lock the corridor, use REVERT TO PLANE CORRIDOR to reset the projection distances to the default value.

To run this function: Choose Planes > Set plane corridor, or...

• In the Function Chooser, type SET PLANE CORRIDOR, and press ENTER.

Fields on the View Corridor form

Field	Description
Towards distance for view corridor	The distance from the active plane towards the view, when in 2D mode, below which the data is displayed in the corridor. Note: This must be a real number equal to or greater than zero.
Away distance for view corridor	The distance from the active plane away from the view, when in 2D mode, above which the data is displayed in the corridor. Note: This must be a real number equal to or greater than zero.

Output

Data that is less than or equal to the distances from the active plane is displayed in Graphics. Data greater than the distances from the active plane are not removed from Graphics.
