Hello all,
I’m just getting to grips with using Shapr3D but I’ve been using Autodesk Inventor for many years. A simple question… is there an equivalent to the ‘slice graphics’ command when sketching on a plane that is obscured by a solid? I’m just messing around modelling something simple and I created a plane where I would like to extrude a feature, but the sketch is partly obscured by the existing extrusion. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum. You can do this by tapping on Section view at the bottom of the workspace after you have inserted or positioned the construction plane to cut through the body.
Here’s a short video on how to do this in the app:
