Working with Cross Sections

When you select and drag an individual section line segment, the segment you are dragging will snap to and merge with other sections as it moves across other segments on the drawing sheet.

You can create an offset section from inside the tool. To view the cross-section cut indicator (red diamond), select the Cut Existing Sections tool guide, then click a section line.

To create a cross-section from inside the tool, click the Cross Section tool, and then within the drawing sheet, select a view. Use the Select Reference Geometry Inside Drawing View tool guide to place the section line.

You can only divide a section on segments that are perpendicular to the principal direction. At your cursor location you can right-click a section line segment and select Split Section. This right-click option is no longer available for segments that are parallel to the section direction.

To view a dotted-line preview of the principal direction of a cross section, scroll with the mouse wheel onto the entire section line.
