Description
The Cross-sections utility creates one or more cross-sections through the selected shape, parallel to one of the default global planes (XY, XZ or YZ).
Usage
- Select a shape.
- Press the
Cross-sections button. - Define the guiding plane.
- Define the position (height of the cross-section).
- Optionally, check Sections to create more than one cross-section:
- Checking On both sides will distribute the cross-sections on each side of the guiding plane location.
- Set the count.
- Press OK.
Notes
- App Link objects linked to the appropriate object types and App Part containers with the appropriate visible objects inside can also be used as source objects. introduced in version 0.20
- The resulting object is not parametric, that is it is not linked to the original shape.
- A single object is created, even with more than one cross-section.
