Drawing section planes
Drawing section planes
You can draw section planes aligned orthographically with the current UCS or by specifying points.
To draw an orthographic section plane
1 Do one of the following to choose Section Plane ():
On the ribbon, choose Visualize > Section Plane (in Live Sections); AEC > Section Plane (in Sections, if your program version supports AEC entities).
On the menu, choose View > Live Sections > Section Plane; AEC > Section Planes > Section Plane (if your program version supports AEC entities).
Type sectionplane and then press Enter.
2 Choose Orthographic.
3 Choose the orthographic orientation (relative to the UCS) that you want the section plane to align with.
To draw a section plane by specifying points
1 Do one of the following to choose Section Plane ():
On the ribbon, choose Visualize > Section Plane (in Live Sections); AEC > Section Plane (in Sections, if your program version supports AEC entities).
On the menu, choose View > Live Sections > Section Plane; AEC > Section Planes > Section Plane (if your program version supports AEC entities).
Type sectionplane and then press Enter.
2 Specify a first point.
3 Specify a second point.
4 Do one of the following:
To draw a section plane that is automatically aligned with the current view direction, press Enter.
To draw a section plane with a different orientation, pick a third point to define its vertical direction.
You can specify the elevation and exact location of a selected section plane.
Type entprop to open the Properties pane. In Vertex, specify which vertex to change, then enter the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the vertex.
