In my previous article about the subject, I have explained that 2 or 3 dimensional cross-sections can be obtained. In this article, I will explain the details of taking a section.
Fig. 1
As you may remember, we can create sections by using ‘Create 2D/3D section…‘ option when we select and right click on LIVESECTION line. Together with this command, we are introduced a new dialog box. On the lower right corner of this window, there is a button that opens detailed settings. In Fig. 1 you can see this button marked with a red frame. On the top part, you can specify whether you would like to create 2 or 3 dimensional sections. 3 dimensional sections become more explanatory when you take staged sections. If planar sections are marked as 3D, then they are created in their own plane. Othervise, they are created in ground plane. In ‘Source Geometry‘ part, you can select the entities that will be included in the section; default selection is all entities in the drawing. You can specify your selection as block, exchanging location with existing block and DWF file. On the lower part, there are settings for section. Now let’s take a close look at these (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
On the upper part, there are 2/3 dimensional section settings and live section settings. From here, you can mark up the section type that you would like to create and make relevant settings. For this time only, we are selecting 2 dimensional section settings. On the lower part, you will see that all of the settings are grouped under 5 main titles. I will only explain the section hatching settings. You can open/close the other titles by clicking on up/down arrow symbols and manage the settings inside them. Due to the fact that the most important thing in sections is hatching, we will also deal with them. By pressing first ‘Hatch Pattern Type…‘ and them ‘Pattern…‘ button, you can access the usual HATCH command window. From here, we can go back to main window by selecting ANSI31 from here. Among the remaining settings, layer and hatch scale settings are important for us. By setting these values we can exit this window. After that, by pressing ‘Create’ button in the window shown in Fig. 1, we can get to section block (article 1 / Fig. 4).
