    Graphics properties question

    Just been put onto a different workstation and I now have all my graphics messed up. I would like to make all surface edges as thin as possible (0.13 seems to be the thinnest)and using "tools - options" allows me to do this for the external edges, but the internal edges of the surfaces stay...

    More concept section problems - change of approach needed?

    OK, thanks for the advice! I'm trying the flangewiper method at the moment - using intersect with the create datum switched off so I create dead geometry. I am cutting through some carry over V4 bits which seem to take an eternity to cut through (I've managed to read most of the BBC news website...

    More concept section problems - change of approach needed?

    I agree totally! No sections = no idea! I've just gone onto the v5 having spent the last 15 years on v4 (and previously v3). I'm on the job being coached by guys who have come straight from college and have done the v5 course. They've spent some time getting hot on the 3D stuff, but of course...

    More concept section problems - change of approach needed?

    Excellent - thanks for the info - I was beginning to think that the idea of sections was dead!

    More concept section problems - change of approach needed?

    Still struggling with v5 and have come to the conclusion that creating a section layout is very time consuming, if not nearly impossible. Have spoken to lots of people here "in the know" and they all have suggested that you don't need to create sections for anything! Just create the model in 3D...

    Creating concept sections from an a surface model

    Thanks guys! I have since been told about the DMU section tool being the quickest way, then export result as a catpart to be used in a product. I'm using Teamcentre, so I don't want lots of sections/catparts floating around in there as they are temporary until the design surf has firmed up a...

    Creating concept sections from an a surface model

    Hi, New to v5 and I'm struggling to create concept and feasibility sections from an a surface model. How to cut a section through the surface, then add geometry to create a concept. Have tried the intersect command, but it takes about 10 mins to cut the a surface! Have tried sketcher, but I...
