Create a 90 degree section cut
Create a 90 degree section cut
(OP)
I need to create a section view (in modeling) only instead of all through but a 90 degree cut(like other cad systems offer). I have an assembly which would like to show the cut half way thru in "X" and half thru in "Y" thus showing 3/4 of the assembly. Is this possible in NX 11?????
thanks
thanks

RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
In case the help file isn't very helpful: There are some threads on this forum I found after a brief search. There are also some youtube videos that walk you through it.
ETA: Here's the help page for a version of NX10: https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/tdoc/nx/10...

RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
I'll have to go through and try that and see what I find - I think John's example looks easier than the 'break out section view' I mentioned earlier, that I currently use.
RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
Using the 'PMI Section' method, I experienced the same. Everything worked exactly as John explained. For 'Assembly Cut' I had created a 'block' object to do the cutting. Since I already had that block made, when I deleted the 'Assembly Cut' and began the PMI Section, I simply selected the 4 edges of the block as the "Cutter" section curves, and it automatically calculated the limits. I adjusted one end using the grips and set the 'end plane' where I wanted, to create that partial (1/4) section.
All went well in NX 10.0.3.5 - so I'm sorry I can't troubleshoot your error. I didn't even see where I could force it to give me your results.

RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
I believe I found your issue. Do you see the "Material Side" button, right under the "Recalculate Limit Values" button? Give it a click. It will appear to do nothing until you hit <OK> to apply changes. But it inverts the boolean operation.

See on the sketch rectangular and when you click
the flip arrows icon you should see a handle arrow
that show the keep volume. Play with the flip
and you will see it

RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
dialog is the correct one
So go to the right dialog (in your picture)
And choose the icon for sketching
and sketch a rectangle and use the extrude prameters
To define the keep remove volume
and then chose the components to operate on
Sorry I'm using nx85 and its difficult to guess
how it in nx11
RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
But in its top has a select objects command
and in yours I don't see it.
RE: Create a 90 degree section cut

You need someone that use nx11
RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
but I don't know why it is dimmed.
RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
NX8.5 dialog
RE: Create a 90 degree section cut
The pre NX11 PMI Section View command is in NX11 called "Section View(Legacy)"
It is not included in the out of the box user interface, nor is it found using
Command Finder. You need to use menu Customize function and search for
"section view" to find it and add it to your current menu.
As "Section View(Legacy)" in NX11 have the same functionality as Section View
command had in NX10, you can use it to, for instance, define a stepped section.

organization matter.
