Set Section Object States

Concept

Procedure

Quick Reference

Section objects have three states: Section Plane, Section Boundary, and Section Volume. Depending on the state you choose, you can view the cutting plane as a 2D plane, a 2D box, or a 3D box. Grips allow you to make adjustments to the length, width, and height of the cutting area.

• Section Plane. The section line and transparent section plane indicator display. The cutting plane extends infinitely in all directions.
• Section Boundary. A 2D box shows the XY extents of the cutting plane. The cutting plane along the Z axis extends infinitely.
• Section Volume. A 3D box shows the extents of the cutting plane in all directions.
