Evaluate > Dynamic Section
 
 
 

Lets you view a cross section of surfaces or meshes by dragging a plane through the model.

Drag dynamic cross sections through surfaces

Unlike the regular Cross section tool, this tool can produce cross-sections in an arbitrary orientation by using a series of parallel planes with a distance between them specified by Step Size.

Sections

Number of Planes

The number of cross-section lines to create.

Step Size

The distance between cross-section lines (when Mode is Parallel and Number of Planes is greater than 1).

Curvature Scale

Controls the size of the curvature combs on the cross-section lines.

Persistent sections

This flag determines whether the sections will remain after exiting the tool.

Visual Clip

These options let you visually clip the wireframe and shaded model, leaving the sections visible.

Visual Clip

Check this option to display only the part of the model with the sections (on one side of the sectioning plane).

Flip

Check this option to only display the part of the model that doesn’t have sections. The sections on the invisible part are still displayed.
