Sectioning a Part model

Sectioning a Part model

Sectioning a Part model

(OP)
Is there anyway to section a part model for viewing purposes?

RE: Sectioning a Part model

If you are in Assembly Design you can use Analyze --> Sectioning menu to dynamically drag a section through the part.  If it is just a part file, insert it into a Product, then you use the above method.

RE: Sectioning a Part model

Derek's assembly method is the best, but if you don't want to use a product, here are two alternatives:

1. make a sketch in the section plane, and do an intersection with the part body (do do a GSD intersect between the part body and the section plane)

2. make a sketch in the section plane of a big box that encompasses the entire part. Now do a pocket to remove one side of the part. Make the pocket a different color to highlight the section. (make sure this pocket stays at the bottom of the tree, and you can deactivate/activate it to turn the "sectioning on/off"
