Section view in a drawing for a bottle

Hey,

So I’m trying to create a section view as marked in this picture here

 

But I’m able to create only like a perpedicular linear section cut in the botttle neck region (Below picture is my drawing)

 

Please let me know how to create a section view show in the first drawing.

You need to create a local section to replicate the drawing you show. You will not have explicit control over the section cut lines as it uses a spline in the definition of the local cutaway so you will have to play with the spline geometry until it “works”.

 

Here is a tutorial on section creation including the local type. Local creation is @ 11:30.
