You can relocate a section by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The section also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the section are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the section by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the section on its plane by changing the rotation angle.
If you want to… | Then… |
---|---|
relocate the section | enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point. |
locate the section on the XY plane | make the normal of the section parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y. |
locate the section on the YZ plane | make the normal of the section parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X, and enter 0 for Y and Z. |
locate the section on the XZ plane | make the normal of the section parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z. |
change the rotation of the section | enter a new value for Rotation Angle. |
