Drawing Cross Section View
Drawing Cross Section View
(OP)
I want to create a cross sectional view in a drawing, but can not find a nice way of doing so.
Not sure if my terminology is correct, but to me a cross sectional view only shows the areas where the model intersects a plane, as opposed to a section view which also shows faces/edges/parts which do not intersect the plane.
I can think of 2 ways to work around this
-A configuration where the model is cut, leaving only a thin sliver.
-Hiding all parts which do not intersect the plane.
Both of these have shortcomings which make tehm less than ideal. Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks

How I managed to not see that is beyond me.
