Description

The Part Section command creates wire geometry at the intersections of two objects. The result is fully parametric.

  • An intersection of two solids/faces results in one or more section lines.
  • An intersection of two lines or a line and a solid/face results in one or more points.

Properties

See also: Property editor.

A PartDesign Chamfer object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

Base

  • DataBase (Link): Link to the first (base) feature.
  • DataTool (Link): Link to the second (tool) feature.

Boolean

  • Data (hidden)History (ShapeHistory): "Shape history".
  • DataRefine (Bool): "Refine shape (clean up redundant edges) after this boolean operation". The default value is determined by the Automatically refine model after sketch-based operation preference. See PartDesign Preferences.

Section

  • DataApproximation (Bool): Approximation. Approximate the output edges.
