Procedure

Quick Reference

Section object grips help you move and resize the section object.

Grips allow you to adjust the location, length, width, and height of the cutting area.

• Base grip. Acts as the basepoint for moving, scaling, and rotating the section object. It is always adjacent to the Menu grip.
• Second grip. Rotates the section object around the base grip.
• Menu grip. Displays a menu of section object states, which control the display of visual information about the cutting plane.
• Direction grip. Controls the viewing direction of the 2D section. To reverse the viewing direction of the section plane, click the Direction grip.
• Arrow grip. (Section Boundary and Volume states only.) Modifies the section object by modifying the shape and position of the section plane. Only orthogonal movements in the direction of the arrow are permitted.
• Segment end grips. (Section Boundary and Volume states only.) Stretches the vertices of the section plane. You cannot move segment end grips so that segments intersect. Segment end grips are displayed at the endpoints of jogged segments.

You can select only one section object grip at a time.
