Introduction

Extracts a section from the intersection of two selected shapes, the second one being used as a section plane. This operation is fully parametric and the components can be modified and the result recomputed.


In this example, a cube is sectioned with a cylinder:

  • Base: base object, the Box
  • Tool: Section tool, the cylinder

Use

  1. Select the base object
  2. Select the Section tool
  3. Click on Part Section from the top menu.
