Section Tool Options

The following options are available in the Section tool:

Maintain Mirror Select this option to maintain the influence of mirrors in your design while editing.
Maintain Offset Select this option to maintain the influence of baselines in your design while editing. Baseline faces are shown as blue edges when viewed in cross-section.
Curve Fitter Options If the section plane passes through a Mesh object, the system will fit curves through the facet points. Lines are displayed green and arcs are displayed blue. The following options apply to the system-generated curves.
  • Fit curves - Uncheck this option if you do not want the system to fit curves through the points.

  • Tolerance - Determines how many points will be found, which also determines how many curves will be created. The smaller the tolerance, the more points will be found and the curves will be generated.

  • Auto-merge - When checked On, the system will merge lines and arcs to form splines. Splines are displayed pink.
