Taking cross sections

Post by snowforest »

I am in parts workbench. I create a cube. Now when I take its cross section, it creates 2 cross sections. One is called Box_cs and the other is Box_cs001. Why does it create 2 cross sections? And no, section checkbox was not checked, I just tried to create a simple cross section.

And they both seem identical.

Now , are these surfaces? Or are these wires in a square shape?
If it is a surface why does it seem hollow inside?
