9/9/2019 Siemens Documentation: Create Section Volume

Create Section Volume

The Create Section Volume command creates a cubic section volume in the Graphic Viewer and Object Tree.
Selecting the Create Section Volume command automatically opens the Section Manager dialog, allowing you to manipulate and move sections, and activate or deactivate them for
cutting or clipping the view in the Graphic Viewer. The Section Manager manages both section planes and section volumes. For information on how to create section planes, see Create
Section Plane.

The system locates the new section volume according to the objects selected at the time when you create the section:
No objects selected - The system places the new section at the center of the bounding box of the currently-displayed objects. The section volume is aligned with the working frame.
Single object selected - The system places the new section at the center of the currently-selected object. The section volume is aligned with the working frame.
Multiple objects selected - The system places the new section at the geometric center of the currently-selected objects. The section volume is aligned with the working frame.
For information on how to configure the section volume size and the color of the top and bottom faces of the section volume, see the Appearance Tab in the Options Dialog. The system
automatically sets the other faces of the section volume to a darker shade of the same color.

You can use a section volume in a simulation by adding it under a group, and using the group as simulated object.
