Creating 2D-View Sections

Edit 2D-View Sections

You can edit 2D-view sections. It is possible to use the tools from the Sketcher app to create additional wireframe elements in the 2D-view section feature.

There are two different ways to do so:

  • Use a command from the context menu on the 2D-view section to create a temporary sketch under the 2D-view section in the tree.
  • Use a command from the context menu on the 2D-view section group to create a temporary sketch under a specific group. This means that wireframe elements created in the group will be used for further corner and thickness operations. This is not the case for elements created directly under the 2D-view section feature.


Before you begin:

Create a representation with a solid, a surface and a volume, for example.

  1. Right-click the 2D-view section.1 in the tree and select 2D view section.1 object > Edit Section.
    The Sketcher app opens.
  2. Create a rectangle, for example.
  3. Click to exit the Sketcher app.
