Click Show Gizmos () to activate or turn off the displays of the gizmos that help you to control the clipping tools. By clicking and moving the gizmo you can move and rotate the clipping tool. Double-click it to move to the corresponding node in the Model Builder to view the settings for the corresponding clipping tool. The gizmo also displays dynamic measurement and coordinate values. The steps for the rotation are determined by a preference setting. Open the Preferences dialog box, and on the Graphics>Interaction>Clipping page, enter a value, in degrees, in the Snap angle field (default value: 5 degrees). You can use a snap angle between 0 and 180 degrees. 0 degrees means that the rotation is continuous without snapping. When dragging the gizmo, rotations are performed around the directions of the main x-, y-, and z-axes (the center of rotation is the position of the gizmo), while the translation is done along the gizmo’s own axes (xg, yg, zg). Clicking and dragging one of the gizmo axes leads to translation along that hovered-on axis, while right-clicking and dragging makes it possible to translate the gizmo on the plane derived from the hovered-on axis — this option is useful when you quickly want to move the gizmo out of the way for a bit.

If you add a clipping tool and you cannot see the model geometry, select the Invert clipping check box in the Settings window for the clipping tool. You can then reduce the size of the clipping area to cover only part of the geometry and clear the Invert clipping check box if you want to use the normal clipping mode.
