Creating a Section View of Surface model

Creating a Section View of Surface model

This section explains how to create a section view of a surface model by CAXA Draft.
Surface models are displayed with a yellow icon in the Scene Browser.


If you attempt to create a projection view, you can use  [Section View] in the [3D Interface] tab.


The following message will appear, and the section view cannot be created:


Procedure:

[1] Select the surface part or assembly.

[2] Go to the [Tools] tab, click [Section Part/Assembly].


[3] In the Scene Browser, right-click on [Section Tool].

[4] Click [Create Section Profile].
The section profile of the surface will be generated.


[5] Suppress the [Section Tool].

[6] Open CAXA Draft and create [Standard View].
In the [Export standard view] dialog, check both [2D profile] and [Surface], then proceed with the projection.


[7] In the [Tree View], hide any unnecessary parts/assemblies and section geometry.
