Uses the intersection
of a plane and solids, surfaces, or mesh to create a region.
Summary
The SECTION command creates a region object
that represents a 2D cross section of 3D objects, including 3D solids,
surfaces, and meshes.
This method does not
have the live sectioning capabilities that are available for section
plane objects that are created using the SECTIONPLANE command.
List of Prompts
The following prompts
are displayed.
- Select objects
-
Selects one or more 3D
objects. Selecting several objects creates separate regions for
each object.
Specify the first point
on the sectioning plane using one of the following methods:
- Object
-
Aligns the sectioning plane with a circle, ellipse, circular
or elliptical arc, 2D spline, or 2D polyline segment.
- Z Axis
-
Defines
the sectioning plane by specifying a point on the sectioning plane
and another point on the Z axis, or normal, of the plane.
- Point on the section plane. Sets
the first point on the plane.
- Point on the Z-axis (normal)
of the plane. Specifies a point that defines the axis
that is perpendicular to the plane.
- View
-
Aligns
the sectioning plane with the viewing plane of the current view.
- XY
-
Aligns
the sectioning plane with the XY plane of the
current UCS.
- YZ
-
Aligns
the sectioning plane with the YZ plane of the
current UCS.
- ZX
-
Aligns
the sectioning plane with the ZX plane of the
current UCS.
- 3points
-
Uses three points to define the sectioning plane:
