dimensions in aligned sectionviews
(OP)
How can I add a dimension in an aligned section view, without having to perform tricks (like adding hidden points) to avoid the following message:
"A dimension cannot be created between the two halves of an aligned section view. The dimension value would be projected in the section view and may not reflect a valid value." ??
I understand what SW is complaining about, but I don't like it that I am not offered the option to place the dimension anyway. Am I missing something obvious here?
All i could find on the forum is :

no answer there though... anyone?

thanx for your help.
Eh... I tried your tip but it doesn't do the trick. What it does is generate a sectionview in which only one half is shown correctly. However it uses the same viewing angle for the second half of the section (Not perpendicular!), resulting in a deformed view of the second half that I cannot use.

How come I didn't think of that ;)
Thank you very much for this valuable tip.
