# shouldClipSelf

Controls whether the entity itself is clipped by this component’s bounds.

## Declaration

```swift
var shouldClipSelf: Bool
```

## Discussion

Discussion When true, the entity’s own geometry is clipped by the bounding volume. When false, only child entities are affected (if shouldClipChildren is true).
