IMPROVEMENT
Planar section:
Cutting a Cloud of Points or a Mesh by Planar Sections :
Infinite option is modal.
Step value is modal.
XY, YZ, or XZ plane definition is define as following : The cutting planes are parallel to either YZ, XZ or XY depending on which is perpendicular to the largest edge of the working box.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
Curve selection:
It may be difficult to select a curve on a dense tessellation or cloud. Use the "Zoom in" function or the Selection Navigator to make selection easier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IGES format:
We recommend that you import files in IGES 106 format using the dedicated Import icon rather than the File/Open menu.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planar sections:
It is not possible to input a join as a guide contour (in the Generative Shape Design sense).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flip edge & Polygon smoothing:
Process only polygon without non manifold defects
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transformations:
The result of a cloud transformation is a feature entity. Activate/Remove/Filtering actions needs to be applied to the father entity.
To by-pass this, you can use Create Datum mode for the transformation but the visibility icon is not displayed in the specification tree.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Align with constraints:
When planes are used, we recommend to check orientations.
When the constraint system is over constrained and when the system cannot compute the alignment, modify constraints in order to have:
one constraint Plane/Plane (to lock one translation and two rotations)
one constraint Plane/Line (to lock one translation and one rotation)
and one constraint Plane/Point (to lock one translation) .... all degrees of freedom are locked
