      Hello,
      I have a basic question that I dont have a clue as to where the answer may be, so i need to ask you guys.
      Under the Styles menu > Edit , there is a box with a number in it called Section Cut Width. Can someone explain where this is important and what it is? many thanks

      Hank

        It is the line width displayed by a section cut. It is independent of the profiles setting. This way you can have a heavy cut line with your section while the rest of the model is fine lines or visa versa.

        Try it out.

          Like these.
          First one is with the width at 1 and the second at 6.

            OK cool, i hope this will help with some line weight issues. occasionally I get a section cut that has real heavy lines when printed. Must be one of the styles with a high value. But if I do a section cut with a high value and group a section slice and overlay it, I should get a strong outline where needed.

            Thanksalot
