Hi, I'm new to LO. I would like to know how is the correct way to import cross sections from a SU model
What I've been doing is to make a scene in SYU that has the relevant section plane active, use the 'add section cut-face' plugin to add faces across the cuts, manually delete the spurious ones, apply colours to match the parts that are cut and sometimes selecting the edges and unhiding them. Then align the cut face in the scene, save the model and send to LO. I haven't had any trouble with making dimensions snap to the places I need - perhaps having the filled in cut faces is the key?
In LO I just select the relevant view and scale and style. I get this sort of thing -sample sections.pdf and yes, LO doesn't always do a perfect job of the rendering for some reason. Sometimes it comes out beautifully, then you change something, update and it leaves out some edges or whatever. Odd.
