Segmenting a View

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Sketch a section or select an existing section.
    • Place an elevation symbol in a view (or use an existing elevation icon), and click the arrowhead of the elevation symbol to view the clip plane.
  2. Click Modify | Views tabSection panel (Split Segment).
  3. Note: For illustration purposes, the images in the following steps are for a section.
  4. Place the cursor on the line at the point it is to be segmented, and click.
  5. Move the cursor to the side of the split to move, and move the cursor in a direction orthogonal to the view direction.
  6. Click to place the segment.

The new segmented line has several controls on it. Controls for resizing the crop region display as a dashed green line. All segments share the same far clip plane.

There are controls for moving the segments of the line.

For segmented sections only: There is also a break control that divides the section into smaller segments. The break control displays as a Z on the section line. Click it to break up the section even further. When you do, the section has more controls for resizing segments.
