Creating 3D Section Cuts
-
Select Insert > Sectioning from the menu bar,
or click Sectioning
in the DMU Space Analysis toolbar and
create a section plane. The
Sectioning Definition dialog box appears.
-
In the Definition tab, click
Volume Cut
to obtain a section cut:
The material in the negative direction along the
normal vector of the plane (W-axis) is cut away exposing the cavity
within the product. |
|
Notes:
-
To give you the
best view of the cut, the normal vector of the plane (W-axis) is
inverted so that the cutting view is always visible on screen.
-
Partial clipping is not possible. Therefore if
you select only one product in the Sectioning Definition dialog box, and click
Volume Cut
to obtain a section cut:
-
In the document window the visual feedback shows a
section cut that affects the entire product structure even if
you have selected only one product.
-
In the Section viewer, the section cut only
shows the selected product.
|
-
Double-click the normal vector of the plane to invert it,
or click Invert Normal
in the Positioning tab of the Sectioning Definition
dialog box.
-
Re-click Invert Normal
to restore the material cut away.
-
Click OK when done.
3D Section Cut Display
The 3D section cut display is different when the sectioning
tool is a plane. To obtain the same display as for slices and boxes (see
illustrations below) and make measures on the generated wireframe cut:
-
Select the Allow measures on a section created with
a simple plane option in the DMU Sectioning tab (Tools
> Options, Digital Mockup > DMU Space Analysis)
-
Then, create your section cut based on a plane.

Functionality
In DMU-P2, you can turn up to six independent section
planes into clipping planes using the Volume Cut command to focus on the
part of the product that interests you most.
3D Section Cuts in DMU Review
Section cuts created during DMU Reviews are not persistent
and are only valid for the duration of the review. If you exit the DMU
Review, the section cut is lost.
