NX 7.5 Drafting, Section depth.
NX 7.5 Drafting, Section depth.
(OP)
I cut a section in drafting and would like it to only show say a depth of 36" from where I cut the section. I read that clipping planes will do this but I never get consistent results and it is a guessing game what numbers to enter. Solid Edge and Solid Works do this in a very simple fashion so I know it is possible. We deal with large complicated models and this ability would save us a great amount of time. Thanks for any help (NX7.5)

By the way John on another thread about ARRANGEMENTs you gave an example that will help us and save us tons of hours, thanks for all you contribute.

As per your procedure, unable to reproduce the same result. Please see the attachment file, using 2" offset value but no result. Any input on this will be appreciated.

Me too, I am not able to reproduce the result. Tried a drawing/section view myself and your (vrishraj) part.
Maybe a setting in the customer defaults?

It will only hide OTHER bodies from the section view, it will not do a second cut through the model. ( It will not produce new edges.)
Open Vishraj's model, edit the second extrude feature and make it "Create" instead of "Unite". Then update the drawing.
I.e, it's of no use if you only have a single body.

Yes, I have checked as per your instructions and it works the way you explained. It shows the complete body which finds at that specified depth.
