Hello everyone,
This question/bug report is going to be a continuation of this topic: Slice doesn't hide the Edges
@Evgeni_Popov’s fix works if clip plane is set at the scene level globally for all the meshes:
But if you want to use per-mesh clip planes (as explained here) it stops working:
Neither of the possible values for edgesRenderer.lineShader.options.useClipPlane makes a difference.
If this is truly a bug - can/will this be addressed and fixed?
Thank you!
Anton.
The edge rendering is a separate step from the mesh rendering, so the mesh events like onBeforeRenderObservable / onAfterRenderObservable won’t work for it.
What you can do is hooking the EdgesRenderer.render function to set/unset the scene clipping planes:
@sebavan / @Deltakosh I wonder if we should add some observers like onBeforeRendering / onAfterRendering in the edge renderer… Also, what about adding clipping plane support to the Material class in addition to the scene.clippingPlaneX properties? We would avoid the use of mesh.onBeforeRenderObservable / mesh.onAfterRenderObservable to set clip planes and we could also reuse the data in the edge renderer to apply the same clipping planes if defined at the material level.
I like the idea! (of adding clipping planes to material class)
I am not a fan of anything requiring onBefore/onAfter as it breaks WebGPU perf compat. ClipPlanes at the material levels sounds really coool

You guys rock, thank you!
Will use the suggested workaround for now, but looking forward to this being implemented in the future!
