Define Sectional Views (3-D)

Views > New > New sectional view

HiCAD allows you to create sectional views in a wide variety of versions, e.g. expanded, with lateral restriction, with or without identification of the section path and so on. The section path is based on a sketch.

This function will always be applied to the active view. Please select the desired view before you call the function.

Once you have called the function, the New sectional view dialogue window is displayed. Then proceed as follows:

  1. UnderType, select the type of sectional view you require.
  2. Specify the Sketch for the section path - either by constructing a new sketch or by identifying an existing sketch.
  3. Define the options for the Identification of the section path.
  4. Use the Preview button to check the identification you have chosen.
  5. Select the settings you want for the Hatching.
  6. Click Create to generate the sectional view.
  7. Specify the position of the view on the screen. You can, while the view is "attached" to the cursor, right-click to open a context menu, the functions of which allow you to choose a new reference edge for alignment, or drop the detail view horizontally or vertically.

Change edge for alignment
Use this function to choose a different reference edge for alignment of the view. This function is only available for multiple cut edges.

Drop horizontal/vertical
Use this function to drop the detail view horizontally or vertically. After calling the function you can select the rotation- upwards, downwards, to the left or right - with the cursor and drop the view. The viewing direction of the section will be determined in the moment of the function call, that is, it depends on the side of the reference edge on which you called the context menu with a right-click. The image below shows some different possibilities.

After selecting the rotation the view can be dropped freely.

  1. If you have previously activated the Limited option in the New sectional view dialogue window, the Limit sectional view dialogue window is displayed. Here, you can change the zoom and the hatching. The current size of the section is displayed as a rectangular sketch in the drawing, in parallel with the dialogue window. The size of this rectangle is determined by the sketch and the height of the drawing or the parts to be cut.
  2. If you want the sectional view to be created in the size indicated, click the Apply button in the dialogue window.
  3. If you want to change the restriction of the sectional view, use the Sketch function to change the sketch shown and click the Apply button.

 

 

Please note:

Please note that these settings do not apply to headings (captions).

If you do not want the crossed-out representation in the drawing, you can change this in the Configuration Editor at System settings > Visualisation > Views, where you can deactivate the Cross out old cut outs, sectional views and detail views in graphic checkbox.
