Sectioning tool
Sectioning tool
(OP)
When I use the sectioning tool in a CATProduct, the section window pops up with the geometry from where the section goes through, but I can't seem to then do anything with the section. I need to be able to project those entities onto a surface or even make them visible.
When I click ok, the window just disappears along with all the entities. Any help would be much appriciated. Thanks.

RE: Sectioning tool
Create eventually a separate CATPart and use GSD workbench.You have to use an intersection with a plane.

RE: Sectioning tool
If you want exact sections use GSD intersection, you can use the multi selection icon to pick multiple bodies. You don't need to copy any bodies as long as they are in the same session, I would recommend you to turn on the datum feature when making a large section. This will be exact but note that this feature will temporarily copy the bodies of the chosen parts into the active part when making the section.
Why I'm saying this is that I have noticed performance issues when trying to make a section this way with several hundred parts. I use a search favorite that looks for all bodies named "PartBody", before I use it I rename mine and run it and then use intersection, all bodies will be selected in one set and I only have to pick the plane.

Nice, isn't it? Unfortunately, I didn't succeed to do it in CATScript...we are using a lot of UNIX workstations...

After I've done what solid7 said in his post (http://www
So, its working also under UNIX...and the plane which is created by the script it is in a new part....so it will be easy to do the rest of the job....just select first what yo want to cut (multiselection eventually) and the second selection it will be the new plane created...
