Section Cut

Accessible from the Visualisation, CFD and Data Visualisation screens.

 

The Section cut tool can be used to create a slice through the building to allow the inside of the model to be viewed.

 

To use Section cut:

 

  1. Click on the Section cut toolbar icon,
  2. Select the direction of the cut using the 3 axis arrows in the top right of the screen and then
  3. Move the mouse over the model to adjust the position of the cut.
  4. Once you are happy with the cut position, click once with the mouse.

 

You can continue to use other view tools with the cut in place.

 

To subsequently change the position or direction of the cut press the <ESC> key and repeat the steps above to select the new cut position and direction.

 

Note: with the cut in place you can view the shading within the building on the visualisation screen. The section cut does not affect shading or other results - it just affects the view that you have on the model.
