enable,diable clipping planes

[kellerassel]

Is there a way to use clipping planes
only for some objects in your 3D model?

I tried glEnable and glDisable on an additional clipping plane when I draw one of my objects, it did nt work!

Are there any ways to do this?

You enable and disable additional clippingplanes with glEnable/glDisable(GL_CLIP_PLANEi), where i is the clippping plane you want to enable/disable. I can't see any problems with just disabling one clippingplane before you draw an object. Post some code and see if we can find some problems...

Hmm...
That's not so easy since this code is
part of a C++ OpenGL wrapper class.
But you think this code should work:
>---------------------

GLdouble eqc[4] = {0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0};

glNewList( list, GL_COMPILE );

glClipPlane( GL_CLIP_PLANE0, eqc );
glEnable( GL_CLIP_PLANE0 );

makeObject1();

glDisable( GL_CLIP_PLANE0 );

makeObject2();

glEndList();

---------------------------<

If I want to clip Object2 only?!

Sorry, .... clip Object1 .....

Hmm, got one question to you.

Your code is calling makeObject*(). Does this function build an object (say to a displaylist or so) and then you call something like drawObject*() when you wanna draw it, or is makeObject*() actually drawing the object?

Clippingplanes have no effect when building a displaylist. So if you enable a clippingplane when building, it will still build the whole object.

How do u get the object to be clipped then?

I mean i have defined a clipping plane and then use a Display list... Will the clipping plane be ignored when object is displayed?

No, only when building a display list. When executing a display list the clipping planes should be properly processed.
