Modeling 3D revolved section views 1

[41EX]

Hello,
I'd like to know if it's possible to create revolved section views in the modeling application?

Thanks

You could by Extruding the section legs as a sheet and using Trim Body, but I don't believe there is a specific command for that.

Thanks for the tip but I tried something similar (waved the assembly and tried this... however after 30 minutes of waiting NX hadn't finished creating the wave. This is one large assembly!)

Well, knowing all the facts up front helps us help you. Might want to present all the facts in your initial post from now on. I took it that you had a model and wanted to section it - not a large assembly.

But yeah, a large assembly is going to take a while to perform a cut like that. Not sure if PMI would offer up anything simpler, as I don't use it enough to know. Maybe someone else will chime in and offer up a solution.

Use the Assembly Cut function. You will need an extrusion of your cutting panes...(one single body)

If you have a PMI License, you can creat view specific cuts. First you have to create a new model view. Then you can finde in the context menue of this view a section tool.

is this a PMI question ?
If not, why do you want to create this thing in modeling ?

I do not know if the PMI views support revolved views. - ( Revolved drawing views would be a bit strange in 3D since they flatten the sections .-They present the cut sections in flat state next to each other. - How would the corresponding 3D look ?)

Else do as Ronald proposes, Use the assembly cut.

This is what I had in mind:

However, the assembly I'm working on is too large (file weight) for these options. I'll have to think of another solution.

Thanks for the tips though

Then again, use the Assembly cut feature.
Or, if you go the path of Wave linking, Note that you do not need to link other pieces than the ones you intend to cut... ( there's no point in wave linking the pieces that should remain uncut.)
