SeanOSkea Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I was excited to use the Create Section Viewport to make quick groundplans for theatrical scenic designs. I was disappointed to see this option is only available on the sides of the clip cube. The viewport section cut also does not allow for horizontal cuts. Scenic ground plans are basically section cuts at 6? above the stage floor (actor?s head height) cutting through scenery and theater architecture. If I could Create Section Viewport from the top of the clip cube, it would be exactly what I?ve been wishing for, for several versions. Short of rotating the whole model 90, is there a way to create a viewport from a horizontal cutting plane at Z+6?? Thanks Sean Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Create a Sheet Layer Viewport in Front View View>Create Section Viewport and draw a horizontal line across the SLVP at 6' above the deck. Quote Link to comment
SeanOSkea Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Crashes every time. Makes sense doesn't it? 100% crash rate. Thanks though, Sean Quote Link to comment
SeanOSkea Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) ...well I just tried it in 2015. And what do you know, it worked! Don't know why it was a guaranteed crash before but nice to know it works in 15. The clip cube thing would still be cool, though. --thanks, Sean Edited September 22, 2014 by SeanOSkea Quote Link to comment
