The [[Arch_CutLine|Arch CutLine]] tool allows you to cut a solid Arch object like an [[Arch_Wall|Arch Wall]] or [[Arch_Structure|Arch Structure]] using a line that is crossing the object.
The '''Arch CutLine''' tool cuts a solid Arch object like an [[Arch_Wall|Arch Wall]] or [[Arch_Structure|Arch Structure]] with a straight edge. Based on that edge and the normal of the [[Draft_SelectPlane|Draft working plane]] a cutting face is generated.

Description

The Arch CutLine tool cuts a solid Arch object like an Arch Wall or Arch Structure with a straight edge. Based on that edge and the normal of the Draft working plane a cutting face is generated.

Arch Wall cut by a line. Left: subtractive box that appears when using the tool. Right: resulting wall after the cut is done.

Usage

  1. If required align the working plane:
    • The selected edge may not be parallel to the normal of the working plane.
    • The generated cutting face will be perpendicular to the working plane.
  2. Select the object to be cut in the Tree view or the 3D view.
  3. Select a straight edge. This must be selected in the 3D view.
  4. Press the Cut with line button.
  5. Choose Behind or Front to indicate on which side of the cutting face material should be removed.
  6. Press the OK button.
