Broken Out Section
Broken Out Section
(OP)
I want to do a broken out section on my initial view in a drawing. The problem is I don't have any edges that are where I want the section to be taken. Does anyone know what the default plane is that you use to sketch the outline on? I find that it is off center of the view by using the 3d drawing view function but I cannot tell exactly how far off center it is.

I just insert the view that contains the edge that I will use to define the depth, create my broken out view sketch, select the edge or vertex, then delete my throwaway view. This way, I know I'm getting the exact depth every time.
