8.5. Creating Coordinate-Based Section Planes

For viewing purposes, you can use the Section Plane option from the Insert group of the Home tab to slice the graphical image of your model based on a predefined coordinate system.


Note:  The Section Plane feature does not support Cylindrical Coordinate Systems.


  1. Select the desired Coordinate Systems object.

  2. Right-click the mouse and select Create Section Plane.

As illustrated here, the model is sliced based on the Coordinate System.


Note:  This option is also available for Coordinate System objects in the Meshing Application.
