    Is it possible to make a section plane smaller so that it only covers part of a model. For instance, I am doing a parallel 3-view of an object and I want to show the internals of the front view. It seems I can't get scenes to remember to use x-ray view, so I thought I'd try a section. It cut through the other views too.

    I worked around it by lowering the other views beneath the section plane, but making the section plane smaller would be better.

      Hi SchreiderBike, hi folks.

      Group the part on which you want to add a section plane and then add the section plane in the group.

      See attached SU file for ideas.

      This file illustrates that you can have as many section planes as you want and that they can be manipulated like any other SU object (moved and rotated).

            Thank you Jean. As usual, once you explain it it's obvious. Before that it was impossible.
