Creating a Half Section In Drafting

[mwilliams]

Can anyone tell me how to create a half section. I have a cylindrical part and want a cross section showing only the upper or lower section and the part centerline. Also, is there an option to show just the area cut by the section plane.

Thanks

Is there a problem with the half section feature? Not sure I understand you right. About showing only the sectioned area, go to preferences->view display->choose the view->toggle the section view button->uncheck background

My problem was with the half section feature. I finally got it to work and unchecking the background gave me exactly what I wanted.

Thanks
