What Are Offset or Aligned Multi-Plane Section Views?
This sub-topic explains what offset or aligned multi-plane section views are.
A multi-plane section view is a section view that has multiple planes. It can be either:
- An offset section view (with multiple planes parallel to each other).
- An aligned section view (with multiple planes that are secant by pair).
In both examples shown above, the section view profile contains three segments. The red point is the origin of the first view, the blue point the origin of the second view and the green point the origin of the third view. These three points will be projected at the same position in the multi-plane section view, and this position will be the origin of the sub-views.
A multi-plane section view contains several sub-views, one for each plane in the section.
These sub-views contain the actual geometry and annotations
created in the multi-plane section view (you cannot create geometry or annotations
outside a sub-view).
