Section from plane

To create cross sections of your models (grid or unstructured point clouds and meshes) by selecting a cutting plane you can access the relative command in the CAD Output top toolbar, below the Cross sections tools.

After creating a plane you can select it through the Select plane button. You can here set its width and height dimensions, independently from the original ones.

Flag Repeat profile to create more profiles, setting intervals, number of sections parallel to the main one and direction of generation of cutting planes parallel to the main one (above, below or on both sides of this plane).

Flag Extract point slice to extract also slices of point cloud in correspondences of the each cross section. The thickness of the slice is defined by the slice depth value.

Follow the step-by-step video tutorial below to perform the Section from plane process.

It is really suggested to use this tool on continuous and without opened boundaries surfaces.

See more details about the sectioning tools and export modalities at Cross sections introduction.
