Section Cuts with non-right angles

JaredBanks — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 17:29:44 GMT

Can a section cut (in version 9) bend? I have a section that I'd like to follow the bend in the building. So half of it would be at 0 degrees and the second half would angle south at say 30 degrees. Is this possible? I know sections can step back, but it doesn't look like they can bend. Is this something that is added in 10 (i hope)?

Thanks

Sorry, not possible in AC9 or AC10.

I was afraid of that. Maybe in 11...

Not possible, but there is a workaround:

Create two "halves" of the section: one at 0 degrees and the other at 30 degress. Then take the two views and abut them in PM so they appear as one continuous section -- comprende?

We were thinking of something like that. I'll give it a shot thanks.

You can crop the view after it's placed into Plotmaker to make a relatively clean edge at the bend in the elevation.
