CATIA v5r19 3DXML 1/4 section cut
CATIA v5r19 3DXML 1/4 section cut
(OP)
Hi, I have a 3DXML file of an assembly with a cylindrical shape. This was provided to me like this and I have no access to the Catia Product or Part files.
I would like to make a section cut slice of 1/4 of the cylinder, as if one was cutting a 1/4 slice of a cheese. I used the sectioning tool, but I can only obtain a half section cut.
I also selected the option for using a box as the sectioning tool, but the problem is that when I select 1/4 of the cylinder, with the box, the tool removes everything else and leaves only a 1/4 "slice", when I wanted exactly the opposite (remove the selected 1/4 "slice").
Is there a way to edit the behaviour of this tool to produce a 3/4 view of a cylinder body?
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!

Yes I can drag the section plane so that I can obtain in the secondary window the 2D view of the intersection between the section plane and the assembly. But in the 3D view if I activate the volume cut half of the body is cut by the plane instead of just 1/4, since CATIA considers the plane infinite and not just with the width that I defined.
With respect to using a box as a sectioning tool I can indeed select 1/4 of the cylinder, but once again when I activate the volume cut, it removes the other 3/4 of the cylinder and keeps just the 1/4 volume selected by the box in the 3D view. Selecing "reverse direction" only mirrors the box to another 1/4 of the cylinder with the same results described previously.
The problem I am facing is that I want exactly the opposite of what the box sectioning tool does. That is, I wanted the volume selected by the box to be cut, so that I get in the 3D view the cylinder volume with a 1/4 slice removed. Is there a way to get this result with the sectioning tool?
Thank you once again for your response and I am sorry if I did not expain well the problem.

I would like to know if it is possible to configure this tool to cut the selected volume with the sectioning box instead of keeping it as it does by default?
I also tried using the "Pocket" feature from the "Assembly Features" menu, but it does not recognize 3DXML as a solid body and thus does not let me create a profile and cut through the assembly.

Thank You!

Why do you need to make that cut? if it's for a pic then there is a function in the drafting module that does that.
