Section Cut-Radius

(OP)
All,
Can I cut a section through a radius? I'm trying to create a developement section for an airfoil. I searched past threads and didn't find anything.

Thanks,

Macduff,

Can you post a general picture of what you're trying to achieve?

Do you trust your intuition or go with the flow?

I would like too, but I forgot. I could put a link to a website. Would that work?

RE: Section Cut-Radius

You have to have straight lines on either end to give the section a direction to build from. But once you get the section to work you can use "Display only surface" and hide what else you see in the view.

You cannot just an arc to make a section.
