Crop 3d Model - I am using react three fiber and implemented the crop feature using clipping planes

Questions
1

I want to implement a crop feature for the 3d model so that I can crop that 3d model and export that cropped 3d model. I am using react three fiber and implemented the crop feature using clipping planes, but when I export that model, I cannot see those cropped changes. Any other ways to implement this one?

Clipping planes are purely a rendering effect. They don’t modify the actual geometry.

To do true clipping you’ll probably need something like three-bvh-csg

Or my own library: https://manthrax.github.io/THREE-CSGMesh/demos/CSGDemo.html

If anyone has already implemented this please share a git repo or any codebase available.

there’s an easier way also using the same csg library that is linked above GitHub - pmndrs/react-three-csg: 🚧 Constructive solid geometry for React
