Section Depth

Depth Control

Controls the section depth. Select Full to create the section view to all geometry beyond the cutting line. Select Distance to specify a distance of viewing in model units beginning from the cutting line.

Distance

Sets the distance of the section.

Note: Set the section depth to zero to revert to the smallest available section depth. This is not a true zero-depth section. The actual value is 0.000012.

Slice

Include Slice

When checked, the Section View is created with some components sliced and some components sectioned, depending on their Browser attributes.

Slice All parts

When checked, the Browser attributes are overridden and all components in the view is sliced according to the Section Line geometry. Components that are not crossed by the Section Line does not participate in the resulting view. The Section Depth fields are disabled when this option is checked.

Note: This option is only available when Include Slice option is checked.

Method

Specifies the method of projecting the section view when you either sketch a multi-segment section line or select a view sketch containing a multi-segment section line.

Projected

Created projected view from the sketch line.

Note: This option is set as the default if all segments are exactly 90 degrees.

Aligned

When checked, resulting section view is perpendicular to the line of projection. Body cut lines do not display in the resulting view.

Aligned option is not available for a child (dependent) view.

Note: This option is only available when Include Slice option is checked.
