Enabled – Enables the use of a clipper.

Affect lighting – When enabled, the clipper affects area lighting.

Clip light's geometry – Enables or disables the clipping of lights geometry (for example a mesh light).

Camera rays only – When enabled, the clipper affects objects as they are directly seen by the camera, but they appear unchanged to reflection/refraction/GI rays.

Use object material – When enabled, the clipper uses the material of each clipped object to fill in the resulting holes. When disabled, the material applied to the clipper object itself is used.

Set material ID – When enabled, you can specify a face material ID for the clipper object. This ID can then be used inside a Multi/Sub-object material to specify a different filler material for different objects. This option is available only when Use object material is enabled.

Mesh mode – Enables the clipper to clip against an arbitrary mesh object rather than an infinite plane.

Subtract – When enabled, clips away anything inside the specified mesh; only renders objects and parts of objects outside of the specified mesh. When disabled, ciips away anything that is outside the specified mesh; only renders objects and parts of objects inside the specified mesh.

Pick scene object(s) – Picks an object for the mesh clipper list. 

Delete – Deletes a selected object from the mesh clipper list.

Mesh list – A list specifying the mesh used for clipping.

Include – Specifies a list of objects that are affected by the clipper.

Exclude – Specifies a list of objects that are not affected by the clipper

Pick scene object(s) – Picks an object or multiple objects for the Include/Exclude list. 

Delete – Deletes a selected object or objects from the Include/Exclude list.
