Section through part
Section through part
(OP)
Hello, I've seen many parts in the past sectioned like the one uploaded, but I can't seem to get Section View to do that. When it takes out both planes I'm left with a quarter of the part, not 3/4 like I simulated. What am I not doing right? Thanks!

RE: Section through part
My SW2011 cannot read your part.
It sounds like you are trying to do a quarter section. I do this by creating a quarter section configuration of the part, creating a quarter section sketch, and extruding it. I attach it to my drawing.
I have never actaully done this with a part. I do it to assemblies so that I get clearer assembly drawings.

Actually, what I am doing is quite simple. If I do my cutting at the assembly level, I can exclude the turbine blades from the cut. The only labourious part is manually applying the crosshatches.
