Clipping Against Three Dimensional Parallelpiped

1. The document describes clipping a line segment against a 3D right parallelepiped. 2. It provides the plane equation that defines the parallelepiped and converts the line segment into parametric equations. 3. These equations are substituted into the plane equation to obtain a single equation that is solved for the parameter t, giving the conditions for when the line intersects each plane of the parallelepiped.
