Virtual knife/Cutting tool

The Cut tool allows you to create a cut or a slice. To cut, press and hold the icon with one finger, while with another finger cutting through the tissue. You can do a straight cut or a circular one. If the Cut icon (1) is only pressed once, an automatic mid-axial cut will be performed. The Clip Tool (2) menu will appear once the Cut function is activated, which allows to revert or remove the plane, create and modify a slab or inactivate the Cut tool. Press the Cut icon again to inactivate the Cut tool. Planes will always be shown as reference while the Cut tool is active.

After inactivating the Cut tool, rotate and move the structure as normal.

To modify the cut with touch interaction: after a cut, hold the Cut icon with one finger (the cut plane will appear in white) and with one, two or three fingers move the cut plane or rotate. Release the Cut icon. 

To create a slice with touch interaction: First create a cut and release the Cut icon. Then, press (and hold) the Cut icon with one finger, while with another finger dragging the appearing circle outwards.
