Model section produces invalid bodies
Model section produces invalid bodies
(OP)
I have an assy that I need to section, when I try and create the section at a prescribed location I get the error that a section at that location will produce invalid solid bodies. I have also found the same thing when I tried to create a section veiw in a drawing I get an unusual section view, ( same assy, same location). If I move in one direction or the other a little, the problem goes away.
Any ideas?

RE: Model section produces invalid bodies
Another potential source of trouble is a complex edge (such as a cut edge of a lofted face) right on the section line.
RE: Model section produces invalid bodies
As you have found, simply offsetting the section line a tiny amount (say .001" or less) will allow creation of the section view.

Send this into your VAR, maybe you have the model that will determine the error and get it fixed.

RE: Model section produces invalid bodies
Is it a revolved feature ?
I've come across this when the section passes through the start/end of the revolve.

RE: Model section produces invalid bodies
For instance, the end of a loft that is created with a point for a section would be a problem if the section cut through the same plane the point was placed in creating the loft. (How can you section and display a point?)
