[ Feature Request ]: Aligned section view

Post by Piero69 »

I often need to create aligned section views (see attachment) but this ability looks like missing in TD. Adding this feature would be great in my opinion.

the tool could work sketching a polyline (just like in sketcher) in the father view and, once selected, the model is (multiplaned) cut according to it

what do you think? is it possible

Hi Piero69, greetings to the Community!
.... we hope that the developers will be able to obtain, in the near future, a reliable algorithm for the creation of aligned sections or placed on different planes, but unfortunately it will not be easy to solve.
Meanwhile, I am attaching a flow on how to create these sections, certainly not automatically but by creating appropriate supports for the production of technical documents.
Here you can find more examples and streams:
