hi ive just subscribed for the year today - app looks really powerful so far - forgive me if this thread already exists - some searches yielded nothing. So the question is - do you offer:

1. any cross-section views
2. can the cross-section be worked in that view
3. is there a video loop of a cross-section reveal?  
many thanks

mostin

Hey, thanks for joining to Pro community 🙂

Currently we don’t have cross section views, but that’s something you can expect in the next few months.

The work around I use to make slices is to create a rectangular sketch, set a minimum thickness, maneuver to the location of the desired cross section then use the intersection tool. This is how the stations for my boat hull drawings are revealed.
