Hello Shapr3D Community,

What a great powerfull software is this! Making more and more good designs. For the production and 3dPrinting of a design it’s important to know the wall thickness. So the Section view is perfect for this. However I do not know how to get a 2D drawing of it and/or make a photo of it with measures to be able to discuss this with a manufacturer. Does anyone have experience with this? (I think and hope TigerMike :)) Thnx! Ed

Go to export, scroll down to Sketches, export as DXF.  
Or, export as DWG using the drawing command
