Work in Dynamic Sectioning

[darksupernova]

Dear Members,

Been a long time reader, and usually search for what I need, but tonight I can't seem to work it out:

I am looking at a part in 'Dynamic Sectioning' view using one of my planes. However I need to create some new internal geometry whilst in this view - you can see this crudely drawn onto the attached image.

I need to create a small tube shown by the blue lines. Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks,

Max

I don't know wich is the easiest way to draw your tube but i can tell you how i would do it.I would create a sketch on the plane you used for the section and draw the axis of the tube you want to create.After that if you work in GSD use the sweep command(Profile type-->Cylinder, Subtype-->Center and radius),for the center curve select your sketch,put in the radius of your tube then go to Part Design,insert a new body,use close surface command and select the swept surface,insert-->Boolean operation-->remove(from your main body).If you work only in Part design after you create the sketch with the axis of your tube create another sketch(you can use the vertical plane,perpendicularly on the plane you used for the section),project the endpoint of the curve you created in the first sketch and use it as a center to create a circle with the diameter of your tube.Insert-->Sketch-Based features-->Rib,select the circle and the curve and it's finished.

Max,
Right click over the Application --> Section and export. This will give you a CATPart of the curves. Add that to your assembly using Insert --> Existing Component. Since this is the construction geometry you need, I would use this new inserted part as the CATPart for the tube. Create a center spine and a positioned sketch and you are in business. Or copy the geometric set of curves to your predefined tube part. Not sure how you have Catia structured.

Thank you for your replies. Also please accept my apologies in being so late getting back to you.

I decided to go with mtmadalin's answer, however I had trouble creating a new plane. I was able to rotate a verticle plane but not a horizontal plane.
In the attached image you can see that I have been able to rotate the XY(highlighted) and YZ planes around a vertical axis. However Whenever I try to rotate the ZX plane about the same axis I get an error that an infinite number of solutions exist.

This problem of having to rotate all planes by a small amount is down to my own CAITA ignorance at the start of the project months ago.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Max

I have attached another image to this post highlighting the plane I wish to rotate.
