Sectioning

Through Sectioning, you can quickly estimate the thickness of the molded part, and thus the fabrication costs.

	About Sectioning
	Creating Section Planes: Click the icon.
	Creating 3D Section Cuts: Create a section plane then click the icon.
	Manipulating Section Planes Directly: Create a section plane, drag plane edges to re-dimension, drag plane to move it along the normal vector, press and hold left and middle mouse buttons down to move plane in U, V plane or local axis system or drag plane axis to rotate plane.
	Positioning Planes with respect to a Geometrical Target: Create a section plane, click the icon then point to the target of interest.
	Positioning Planes Using the Edit Position and Dimensions Command: Create a section plane, click the icon and enter parameters defining the plane position in the dialog box.
	Using the Section Viewer: Create a section plane then click the icon.
