Description
The Cross-sections utility creates one or more cross-sections through the selected shape.
App Link objects linked to the proper object types and App Part containers with the proper visible objects inside may also be used as source objects for the cross-ssections. introduced in version 0.20
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.
Limitations
- 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.
