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
- 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.
- Select the object to be cut in the tree view or the 3D view.
- Select a straight edge. This must be selected in the 3D view.
- Press the Cut Line button.
- Choose Behind or Front to indicate on which side of the cutting face material should be removed.
- Press the OK button.
