Many times, the most impressive part of your design isn\u2019t the outside, but the internals. If you want to show off how your products work, you can decrease the opacity<\/a> or you can use the subject of this week\u2019s Visualize Quick Tip \u2013 Cut Planes.

You can then move and rotate each Cut Plane exactly how you want, and combine multiple Cut Planes \u2013 so lots of ways to slice up your geometry. They can also be animated, adding extra flair to your design presentation!<\/p>\n
