Cross-Section

Click Cross-Section in the top navigation bar to enter the cross-section module, where you can use sectional tools to create cross-sections.
After the cross-section is created, you can extract measured cross-sections, or create features from the created cross-sections.

Note

  • Before using the cross-section function, please import the reference model or the measured model.
  • After entering the From Cross-Section function or hiding the model, you can view the cross-section.

The steps for creating cross-sections as well as extracting measured cross-sections are as follows:

  1. In the Sectional Tools bar, click Cross-Section to open the corresponding window.
  2. Select the model, edit parameters and define the cross-section as reference cross-section:
    • From planes: Select a created plane and set the offset distance.
    • Along specified direction: Click on the model in the 3D scene to create a point, and select a direction (X Axis / Y Axis / Z Axis / Customize).
  3. After completing relevant settings, you can preview the created cross-section in the 3D scene; then click Confirm to save the reference cross-section, and the reference cross-section object will be displayed in the feature module in the left-side tree view.
  4. Right-click on that cross-section group in the left-side tree view, select Extract Measured Cross-Section and determine the measured model on which the cross-section will be extracted.
  5. In the Extract Cross-Section window, select an align object and set remove parameters, and click Confirm to create the corresponding measured cross-section.
  6. The measured cross-section object will be displayed in the corresponding cross-section group in the left-side tree view.
