Hello,
I have a model of an assembly that has a planer cross section showing. I want to create an cross section thru a component now visible in the assembly.
But, as soon as I go to create the additional section, the original cross section disappears and the parts are hidden again.
PTC says that is the functionality of Creo and I can create a surface or use a plane to "cut" the assembly in half. I think that is just extra work, so I hide or layer off the components in the way.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thank you.
That is the way it works, as you have discovered and PTC confirmed.
I usually create a section datum or I use query select to select hidden surfaces or datums.
Would a local area section solve the problem?
