The custom clip plane lets you view the cross section of parts at any angle, not just perpendicular to X, Y, or Z.
To angle the plane parallel to a triangle
To angle the plane through three points
Setting the points clockwise, "positive" is behind the points.
To select which side of a clip plane to show or hide (or make transparent, if set), click on the box between the axis name and the slider.
Visualize cross-sections by switching the clip planes to show on inner sections, too.
Focusing turns both sections from a clip plane invisible and only leaves the highlighting visible. It also changes the perspective so that you can see it straight on.
