New Feature: 3D Interactive Slicing
Users can now interactively slice through a 3D display of data.
Use the dot, line or triangle buttons to create the initial slicing tool.

Then manipulate the slicing tool with the CTRL key and the mouse.
Adjust the exact settings with the "Slicing" tab on the far right of the window.

New Feature: Extended clipping options in 3D views
mXrap 6.1 has extended the 3D clipping feature to support more general clipping volumes.
Previously clipping volumes were restricted to axis-aligned bounding boxes, specified using a minimum and maximum XYZ.
The more general clipping volumes support shapes that can be created using the 3D view’s selection box system, as shown below.

New Feature: Chart Interactions
Users can now manipulate elements in a chart with the mouse.
In this example, the mouse is used to directly edit the positions of rock bolts in a Ground Support Design.

New Feature: Chart Mouse-Hover Information
Charts now show the location of the mouse cursor on the visible axes,
and will also show information about the point under the mouse.
