Scenes ?

[danna]

Not quite understanding how to get them to show section planes.

I have 3 scenes .... 1.top view, 2.perp view, then same 3.perp view with a section plane cut through the model.

3rd view looks same as 2nd view, does not show the section plane.

I've tried different settings and updating with the check marks in the "active plane section" ... but still no go.

I've tried the toggle on the section plane toolbar, but then my 1st scene does not show right.

First off, please make sure that your current Style is set to display Section-planes etc, so you can see what you are doing...

To understand Section-cuts first make a simple 3d box.

Make three Section-planes cutting across that box parallel to the three axes.

Make three Scene-tabs - each using the same view or different it doesn't matter.

Activate the first Section-plane so it section-cuts the box.
Now context-menu on 'Scene 1' tab 'Update'.

Activate the second Section-plane so it section-cuts the box.
Now context-menu on 'Scene 2' tab 'Update'.

Activate the third Section-plane so it section-cuts the box.
Now context-menu on 'Scene 3' tab 'Update'.

Now when you click on the three Scene tabs in turn, they should each display a different section-cut...

Thanks for that explanation Tig, it's working now.

I believe my problem was in the Styles section.
