Set section plane at a specific point on an object.

[CalypsoArt]

Previously in my work I just drag my section planes to a point that looks good for what I'm doing. However, now I have to section some models at definite points. e.g the center-line. How can I ensure the section is where it is supposed to be? The section plane does not inference nor snap to guidelines.

You can use the normal inferencing system to position a section cut (middle point, guide lines, ...) and you can fix a direction with the shift button ...

Do you have an example image or model where it doesn't snap?

Thanks. "Shift button"is the answer. I'd never tried using it while it moving the sec plane.
