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
- Select two objects. (This activates the related button and menu option)
- There are several ways to invoke the Section command:
- Press the Section button.
- Select the Part → Section option from the menu.
