About Segmented Views

Split a section or elevation view to permit viewing otherwise obscured parts of the view.

This function allows you to vary a section view or an elevation view to show disparate parts of the model without having to create a different view. For example, you may find that landscaping obscures the parts of the model that you would like to see in an elevation view. Splitting the elevation allows you to work around these obstacles.

The following example shows splitting a section, but the same approach can be used for an elevation. In the following figure, a typical section is drawn on the model.

Modify the section as shown and the resulting section view changes.
