Section Depth in Weldment

Section Depth in Weldment

Section Depth in Weldment

(OP)
Is it possible to control the depth of a section in a weldment?

RE: Section Depth in Weldment

In the model or the dwg? If I understand you correctly, when sectioning, type in the depth.

In the drawing... The option to "Display only surface" don't work like it should. It appears to have a default section depth that I can't change.

Quote (...from the help menu):

Section Depth
For assemblies only.

Full. Creates a section view of the entire model.

Distance. Creates a section view up to the distance you specify. To set a distance, do one of the following:

Set a value for Depth.

Select geometry, such as an edge or an axis, in the parent view for Depth Reference.

Drag the pink section plane in the graphics area to set the depth of the cut. All components between the section line and section plane will be shown in the section view.

Preview (Distance only). Click Preview to see how the section view will look with the section depth settings before you close the PropertyManager.

Mine is a part (weldment)... :(
