Part Section

Description
The Part Section command creates wire geometry at the border between two intersecting objects. It adds a Section object to the document with its corresponding representation in the Tree view.
 * 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.

This operation is fully parametric and thus the components can be modified and the result recomputed.

In this example, a cube is sectioned with a cylinder:

Usually this would result in one closed set of section lines, but coplanar faces give some extra lines.

Usage

 * 1) Select two objects. (This activates the related button and menu option)
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the Section command:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.

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

Data

 * : Link to the first (base) feature.
 * : Link to the second (tool) feature.


 * : "Shape history".
 * : "Refine shape (clean up redundant edges) after this boolean operation". The default value is determined by the preference. See PartDesign Preferences.


 * : Approximation. Approximate the output edges.
