Mesh - Key Plane Edit - Objects @ Keyplane:

This tool is used to identify any solid objects that coincides with a key plane.

The user is presented with a summary report of all objects at key-plane pair.

The user can optionally merge the key-planes and modify the objects.

User selects key plane pairs. This is accomplished by selecting the left key plane with the mouse (selection control on plane). This will result in selected key-plane as well as the adjacent (right) key-plane being highlighted.
Left key-plane and the objects associated with it will be colored amber and the right key plane and the objects associated with it will be colored blue. The coordinate values and effected objects are displayed.

The user can merge the two key-planes and clean up the model by one of the following three ways

Merge left: Moves the "right key-plane" and all associated object faces to left key-plane coordinate.

Merge Right: Moves the "left key-plane" and all associated objects to right key-plane coordinate.

Merge Center: Moves right and left key planes and the associated objects to the center.

 

Note: Key-planes can only be merged if they do not result in "collapse" of a solid.
