Save Sections as Blocks or Drawings

You can save the section objects you create as blocks. Working from the Generate
Section/Elevation dialog box, you can choose the type of block that is created.

For example, suppose your project requires 2D elevation drawings or 2D cross sections.
The 2D Section / Elevation option creates an accurate block representation that is
ready for dimensioning.

To publish or render a cutaway of the 3D model, select the 3D Section option. 3D section
geometry consists of mostly 3D solids and surfaces. However, profile outlines and
hatch patterns consist of 2D lines.

The display properties of 2D section/elevation blocks and 3D section blocks are controlled
in the Section Settings dialog box.

Save Section Objects as Tools

As with other objects, you can create tools from individual section objects and then
access them in a tool palette when you need them.

If each of several section objects has its own set of properties, you can save each
section object as a tool. Later, you can quickly create new section objects that use
the same settings.
