Multiple sections from a solid object

[bernieasf]

Hello,

 

I made an irregular solid object using the LOFT command and a few splines as sections. The object is approximately 200 units long and I need to get sections from it (polylines or regions) every unit. Is there any LISP that can do this?

 

Thank you

Hi bernie,

Try to use sectionplane comand

See Home tab/section panel/section plane and an option

Bye

Thank you, but that's not quite what I need. I know the SECTIONPLANE command and I think it allows to make one section at time. I was looking for a LISP that could apply the SECTION command to a solid using a group of objects as references for sectioning. Anyway I solved the problem making regions along the object to be sectioned, separated by 1 unit with the ARRAY command, converted them to surfaces, unified them to become a single object than INTERSECT it with the solid. This way I get all the sections I need at the same time. As we all know sometimes there are many ways of solving the same problem!! :D:D Cheers
