In the OVITO documentation, I noticed that the Slice modifier [Slice — OVITO User Manual 3.12.1 documentation] file:///D:/OVITO%20Basic/doc/manual/html/reference/pipelines/modifiers/slice.html#particles-modifiers-slice) can remove a portion of the voxel grid during slicing. I’m working with a VASP CHGCAR format file. After applying the Slice modifier, only particles are partially removed while the voxel grid remains intact. How can I make the voxel grid get deleted during the slicing process in the same way as the particles?
Thanks for reaching out. First, I should clarify that the Slice modifier does not remove any portion of the voxel grid. It rather creates a planar cross-section through the voxel grid by sampling the field values on the specified plane, which intersects the volume. The original voxel grid is not modified by the operation.
See the attached screenshot:
(1) You should turn off the display of the voxel grid boundaries.
(2) Turn on the display of the cross section(s) generated by the Slice modifier.
(3) If necessary, apply multiple instances of the Slice modifier to create multiple cross-section slices. The “slab width” option has no effect in case of voxel grid slices.
(4) To prevent the Slice modifiers from interfering with each other’s generated cross section meshes, turn off the “operate on: surfaces” option.
Is this what you need? Let me know if you were looking for something else. We appreciate any feedback that can help us improve OVITO.
