Cropping a Section Viewport

[Neil Barman]

I am a longtime VW user (in 2D) and I'm now, finally, trying out the Hybrid/3D features.

I'm fairly well versed in dealing with viewports and have just tried using Section Viewports (via View > Create Section Viewport...). I can make them and do most things with them that I can with plan viewports, but I can't figure out how to crop them. When I try to edit their crop, there is no crop box to adjust, and the section viewport's Object Info says it's not cropped.

So, how does one crop a section viewport?

Thanks in advance.

Double click the SVP (or right click) and choose Edit Crop. Then just draw the object you want to use as a cropping object. Hint 1: you can use any close shape for a crop. It can a circle, rectangle, polygon, etc. Hint 2: if you don't want the cropping object to be visible, give it a line weight of zero, or make it white...

PS: Neil, it is really helpful if you create a signature with your OS flavor and version and VW's version. To do so click on the My Stuff pulldown above and go to Edit Profile...Thanks

Ah ha! So you can draw the crop right into the VP! I knew both of your hints but I didn't realize you could draw the cropping object right into an existing SVP. (I have been drawing the cropping objects (for plan VPs) _before_ creating a VP.)

Thank you Peter!

(And I'll take care of the signature in a sec. I've been meaning to do so, so it's good to know how useful it can be for others.)
