✂️ Section Analysis Documentation

The Section Tool (Cross-Section) allows you to slice through the model to inspect internal structures and clearances.

🛠️ Controls

  • Enable/Disable: Toggle the section view on or off.
  • Axis Selection: Choose the slicing plane:
* X-Axis: Slices from Left/Right.

* Y-Axis: Slices from Top/Bottom.

* Z-Axis: Slices from Front/Back.

  • Slider: Drag the slider to move the slicing plane through the model.
  • Invert: Flips which side of the model is visible.
  • Show Plane: Toggles the visual representation of the cutting plane itself.

🎯 Use Cases

  • Checking cockpit clearances.
  • Verifying internal mechanism placement.
  • Looking inside enclosed volumes (e.g., fuel tanks).
Measurement**: You can use the *Measurement Tool while a section is active. This allows you to take precise internal measurements that would otherwise be blocked by outer geometry.
