To Generate a Slice

Use this procedure to generate a slice. The slice object is defined by a small crossed box. Like the mass group marker, the slice marker can be located in a convenient place in your drawing.

You can create multiple slices at regular height intervals. A slice marker is created for each slice.

Generating slice objects

  1. Open the tool palette that you want to use, and select a slice tool.

    If necessary, scroll to display the tool that you want to use.

  2. Specify the number of slices you want to create.
  3. Specify the lower-left and upper-right corners for the slice marker.
    Tip: Keep the slice marker small so as not to clutter your drawing.
  4. Specify a rotation for the slice marker.
  5. Enter the starting height of the slice.
  6. Enter the distance between slices, and press Enter.
  7. Press Enter.
