Creating a Breakout

Breakout lets you create a breakout by using a cutting profile to visualize the internal area.


Before you begin: Open a layout containing a view.
  1. Click in the sheet to create the first point of the breakout profile.
  2. Click as many points to create the profile, and click the first point to close the profile or double-click to end the profile creation.
  3. In the 3D viewer, perform the following operation:

    1. Click the arrow to activate the reference element selection.
    2. Select a point, a line, a circle, a face, or an axis as a reference element to define the depth of the breakout.
    3. Under Parameters, in the Offset or X box, enter a value.

      You can also define the depth by dragging the arrow.
