Troubleshooting Section Views

  • If a Section View is displayed with portions of the model uncut, and with the model in the dangling (brown) color, check for the following conditions:

    • The section line may not extend completely across the model. Either extend the section line as needed, or use the Partial Section option. See Section View PropertyManager.

    • The cut may result in zero-thickness geometry that cannot be displayed correctly in the view. Modify the position of the section line to correct this problem.

    • There may be a problem with the model geometry. Use Tools, Check to identify the invalid geometry. For more information, see Check Entity.

  • The corners in the section line create edges in the section view. To remove an edge, right-click it and click Hide Edge.

    • Sometimes you may need to create a section view using sketch geometry overlaid on a view. You can create rotated section views if the Section View tool is not appropriate.
