section view

[tazengr]

I am making a detailed or drawing with dimensions in wildfire 3.0.
I inserted a front view by using
Insert --> Drawing View --> General.

Now I would like to project a section view across the centerline and place it below this view.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks,

I would suggest that you check out the help files in Wildfire....they're pretty good for the simple stuff.

Views > Add View > View Type

To Create a Partial or Broken View with Local Cross Sections

1. From the VIEW TYPE menu, choose Partial View or Broken View.

2. Choose Section > Done > Local.
Note: Local is not available for half views. It is available only if you choose Full View or Partial View from the VIEW TYPE menu.

3. Select a center point for the view and orient the view as desired.

4. Create or retrieve a cross section for a local cross section to reference. Use commands in the XSEC ENTER menu.

5. Select a view for arrows or press the middle mouse button for none.

6. Do one of the following:
? If you are creating a partial view, select a center point for the partial view, sketch a spline defining partial view boundaries, and select a center point for a breakout. To create more local cross sections, specify a cross section to reference and then define the center and boundaries of the breakout. Choose VIEW BNDRY > Done.
? If you are creating a broken view, select a center point for the breakout and follow Steps 7 and 8.

7. Add breaks by selecting reference points and choose
ADD/DEL BRK > Done.

8. Select lines to share the same spline; then sketch a spline.

9. Choose EXIT > Done.
