Cut Sections
SECTION
Cut Sections
Cuts sections through geometry and provide corresponding planes.
INPUTS
sections : Linear section curves in plan. Flip curves to flip section.
geometry : List of geometry to cut through. breps, meshes, and curves.
layers : Layer names of each piece of geometry. Match layers to each piece of geometry or branch.
colors : Colors for each piece of geometry. Match colors to each piece of geometry or branch.
OUTPUTS
cuts : List of cut geometry. curves, surfaces, or points
layers : Layer for each cut geometry
colors : Color for each cut geometry
planes : Reference plane for each section
Great for cutting sections through all kinds of geometry. This tool keeps track of a geometry’s color and name when cutting. It also puts all geometry on one branch of data per section line. Each section gets an alignment plane that can be used to orient the section into plan or wherever.
Note: if you are cutting the same sections for different things with different components (eg. same 5 sections used in two different components), use the orientation planes output from just one of these components for orienting all of the sections across the different components.
