Partial 3D Section

[Caprig4005]

Does anyone know if you can do a Partial 3D Section in a product using the DMU license? I am trying to take some cross sections for a presentation and I would like to show a shot where a subcomponent is not sectioned but the structures surrounding it are section cut. Any thoughts?

not sure you can do that in DMU, but Assembly Feature like a pocket applied to all part but the one you don't want to cut would do the trick.

please be aware that assembly feature on instance is a known problem...

for a large assembly I would use DMO license and Filter a CGR made of the part you want to cut, adding in the assembly after the cut another CGR of the uncut parts

@Caprig4005
I played around with the sectioning tool today, but couldn't find a way to do what you need without some workaround like itsmyjob described. If anyone finds a way to do this please share.

Hi Caprig4005,
I do not see any possibility of it in spa2 sectioning.You can try Assembly pocket where you can draw a sketch by skipping the parts that does not need cutting and create a assembly pocket involving only those parts for sectioning.Hope it helps.

With the Space Analysis (SPA) license sectioning, select the Selection group in the "sectioning definition" window and pick the components from your tree that you want sectioned. The default is the whole assembly. Not sure if you will have same option with DMU, or if this is what you are really looking for.
