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.
