Sectioned View

Morning All

I am modifying a part drawn by A N Other in WF 5.0 M020, we now use Creo 2.0 M110. I have sectioned a part but the drawing will not display the section view.

So I checked for any hidden layers in the model and tried to redefine the view and this happens! Any ideas.

Phil,

Change the accuracy of model or create a new section at an offset plane.

Hmmm..

Made a new plane offset by 0.5 mm and it fix's the problem, thank you for that but, what was the original problem?

There is an error in the way the section calculation is done that prevented finding a solution to the intersection of the section plane with all the surfaces. In some numerical solutions this is unacceptable, but for section calculations the cost of avoiding failure by adding more verification checks to the calculations would result in unacceptable increases in calculation time or memory usage. As a result, particularly when a section passes through a plane the geometry was created on or is clocked-to, there is a small chance that no intersection will be found.

The general way to avoid this is to move the section plane a small amount from the creation plane. Even .005mm can be enough to get a visually correct result.
