![]() ![]() ![]() I am thinking of the ability to section an area, pull up the measure tool, select a combination of enclosed areas, get the calculated area, and also see second moment of area. The ability to measure sectioned areas and take section moment measurements/calculations could be very handy. ![]() It's simple and works for complicated sections (non linear cut lines, situations that benefit from a revolved cut (a pie shaped section), etc).Ĭreating Sections for drawings are different but given the tags on the post I'm guessing that's not what you are asking about. If I need a permanent section (a placeholder for someone else doing documentation or otherwise retracing my steps) then I'll create a cut that is unsuppressed for a specific configuration. It's important that one can select parts, lines, and surfaces created by the section for measuring and other operations. Section direction should have a default so I can do it quickly (probably cut away the side I'm viewing from) and since selecting internal elements and design reviews are a big use case, I'd like to be able to toggle between the last section and no section easily (section rebuild time breaks flow so bonus points if you can keep it short.) Select (or create) a plane and activate (preferably with a hot key) a section on that plane. I use sections for design review meetings, for quick checks of part interference, for creating documentation via screen capture (when creating a sectioned drawing is overkill), and for selecting model elements that would otherwise be a slower process using 'select other' to drill through the model. ![]()
