Update Sectional and Detail Views
Views > Edit > Update sectional views
Once you have transformed a 3-D model, sectional views, detail views and cut-outs can be automatically adjusted. When you select the function, the currently visible views of the active sheet/model will be updated.
If you want to update all sectional and detail views, click and select
Update all sectional views
If you select this function, HiCAD checks which parts have changed since the last update and performs the update for these parts.
You can also activate the function via the transparent toolbar: If you right-click the symbol, a context menu with further functions for the recalculation and updating of views will be displayed.
These functions will recalculate sectional views even if they are already marked as "up to date". In case of an incorrect marking as "up to date", you can use this function for correction purposes.
Please note:
- The sectional views and detail views will even be recalculated with the Recalculate ... views context menu functions if they have already been marked as up to date. In case of an incorrect marking as up to date, you can use these functions to correct the affected views.
Alternatively, you can use the Cut-outs, sectional and detail views, Recalculate... functions (via Drawing > Others > Extras > Tools) to perform the part recalculation.
- Sectional views, detail views or cut-outs that are not up to date are indicated in the ICN by strikethrough view names and by a red cross in the drawing. For example, this is the case if you are working with sectional or detail views or cut-outs and transform the model after definition of the views, or if you apply Boolean operations to the model.
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.
- The printer/plotter output of the drawing does not show the "red cross".
