Section View Command
Overview
The “Section View” in the application allows users to generate a two-dimensional representation of a design or model by slicing it along a specified plane or section line. By executing the “Section View” command, users can visualize the internal details, cross-sections, or cutaways of the design, providing valuable insights into its composition and construction.
Section views are commonly used in architectural, engineering, and manufacturing disciplines to analyze and communicate the internal structure, components, and relationships within the design. They help in identifying clashes, verifying clearances, evaluating assembly sequences, or understanding complex geometries.
