Creating Sections from 3D Solids

The Section command creates a cross section based on the intersection of a plane and 3D solids.

The resulting entities are Regions.

To create a cross section of 3D solids:

  1. Type Section at the command prompt.

  2. Select the 3D solid objects to section.

  3. Specify three points to define the sectional plane.
