Create a Partial Section View

General

  • You can add a partial section view to a projection.
  • A partial section view cannot be created for a section or detail view projections.
  • You can only make one partial section view per projection.
  • First, draw a closed chain of lines (border line), in the limiting area of which the section is created up to the depth defined in the model.
  • The border line that you drew is set on a hidden layer which you can make visible by selecting the tool strip function Hidden Layers On/Off.
  • You can edit the border line or delete it, after which the drawing must be updated by selecting the context-sensitive function Update.
