Clients need to understand not only the beauty of a building, but how it works and functions. With the Clipping Plane tool in Lumion Pro, you can quickly slice through a model to create crisp, clean sections, floor plans, and elevations that help you communicate your design’s intent with confidence.
And the best part? You can style them beautifully, without losing clarity. With this handy tool, you can generate clear architectural drawings right inside Lumion Pro, without having to export a render and patch things up elsewhere.
