Drawing of a cross section?
Hi,
Is there a way of creating a drawing of the internal view of the cross section of a solid? I've found a Section plane tool in Arch which I can put where I want it but I can't work out how to project the cross section onto a drawing. I need to show the detail for a manifold mount solenoid valve.

Re: Drawing of a cross section?
Thanks but sorry I don't understand. I've tried using the facebinder tool but I can't project from that onto a drawing, nothing appears on the page. Also I don't understand what a "helper cut" is.

Helper cut is the grey object needed for the boolean cut.
Perhaps looking at this tutorial (with german audio) will give you an idea for the needed workflow.

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.
My macros on Gist.github here complete macros Wiki and forum.

Re: Drawing of a cross section?
Hi Mario, very nice macro!
Is there a way to create a macro with the following behavior? these screenshots have been captured by OCC Assistant for Android...
the section view can be applied and moved visually very fast and the model get a live colored section view...
It doesn't apply any cut to the model, but it can be used to inspect the model section dynamically ...
here for reference the app

Re: Drawing of a cross section?
hmm the thread is about cross section ... the macro is about cross section and I'm just asking for an extension of the macro behavior to view dynamically a cross section... I can start a new topic, but I really consider this related to this topicr-frank wrote:Maurice, please stop hijacking this thread and start a new one with your feature request ...

Re: Drawing of a cross section?
Hi,
In this case, the initial argument is "Cross section", but now it is also "CAD Assistant". However, if someone searches for "CAD Assistant" this topic does not appear.
A new topic with a subject "CAD Assistant, Cross section" would immediately find this discussion.

EDIT
For me it is not a problem, but you yourself say:
I consider a pity because in a language subforum will have less visibility...

Have a good title of the subject helps in research, to see if the topic has already been treated.easyw-fc wrote: r-frank wrote:
