buz Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 After creating a section there are miscellaneous lines that really have no meaning to the section drawing. I have tried using the rectangle tool (among others) to try and 'overwrite' or blank out those lines that are irrelevant, but no matter they always show 'through' whatever I use to cover them. Any hints regarding how to clean up a section? Thank you. Quote Link to comment

P Retondo Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 The method I've always used is to convert the 3d to lines, then edit. Quote Link to comment

buz Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 When creating a model to create a section from I'm wondering what would help. As it is .... for instance my foors are merely extruded polygons and my walls are not framed and my roofs are not framed. Also am wondering if I should 'venture' in to cavity line type walls? Would it help my sections if I were to 'frame' these layers of my model? Thank you [ 01-21-2004, 09:35 PM: Message edited by: buz ] Quote Link to comment
P Retondo Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Don't know whether framing in 3d would help your sections, but cavities do not exist in 3d wall objects and do not show up in a section. This is something we'd like to see incorporated as a feature at some point to help us generate framing detail when taking a section. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for that - guess I can add my name to the wish list Quote Link to comment
