tion block creation
,
3D section block
, and
Live Section
. The 2D section contains
all the following five panels:
•
Intersection Boundary
: This panel contains all parameters, such as col-
or, layer, and lineweight, for lines corresponding to the intersection of geo-
metry with the section plane, cut line
•
Intersection Fill
: This panel defines the hatch or fill corresponding to ma-
terial cut by the section plane
•
Background Lines
: This panel defines all parameters for background
lines; this panel is not available for
Live Section
•
Cut-away Geometry
: This panel contains the parameters for cut-away
geometry; by default, this is not shown
•
Curve Tangency Lines
: This panel controls the appearance of edges
shared by curved and planar continuous faces, but this panel is only avail-
able for 2D sections
If we choose to insert a block, we press the
Create
button. A block is created and the
command prompts for the insertion point, X scale factor, Y scale factor, and rotation.
The block is inserted in the current UCS.
Note
These blocks are anonymous and may be exploded or edited with the
BEDIT
command.
The SECTION command
The
SECTION
command (alias
SEC
) is an old command for creating sections from
3D geometry, but very easy to apply. The result is a region or a curve for each cut ob-
ject. The command prompts for the selection of 3D objects (can be solids, surfaces,
or meshes):
