  4. Define the position (height of the cross-section).

    • Checking On both sides will distribute the cross-sections on each side of the guiding plane location.
    • Set the count.
  6. Press OK.

Notes

  • App Link objects linked to the appropriate object types and App Part containers with the appropriate visible objects inside may also be used as source objects. introduced in version 0.20
  • 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.
