Hi Jeff, so there's a couple of different variations that you can do for making slices.

To start with like Pilou says you'll want to draw a line and then probably use Transfrom > Array > Dir to repeat the line to control where the sections will be at.

Then if you want to cut your objects up into solid slabs, you can use a boolean command to slice the object up by the lines, that looks something like this:






If you want to generate cross section slices as curves, then create that same kind of line pattern, but instead of doing a boolean select the lines and run the Construct > Curve > Project command. That will project the lines onto the objects that you select which will basically trace planar section curves.

Hi Jeff,

If you're wanting just basic 2d lines to check the fit between parts then I would suggest drawing a simple planar surface as your cutting plane 'Draw Solid>Plane' and using 'Construct>Curve>Isect' to create section lines, after doing that you can also select the plane and curves produced and enable history update 'Edit>History>Enable history update' in doing that you can move the cutting plane and the section curves will update accordingly.

Cheers

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. That's an interesting approach. I'll try it.

Thanks
