Cross Section View

Post by atrev »

Working with using cross section. Is there anyway to get the intersection without adding child objects to the cut mesh?

Cheers

Hi Atrev
I assume you use the method from the Cross View VB .NET sample.

It sounds like you are using the IBoolSectionEx.Execute3() with IncludeChildren* set to true in the dictionary parameter.

If you need to do it for several objects on different levels without messing with child/parent tree you just need to repeat the operation for IBoolSectionEx of each object. Avoiding the IncludeChildren* would be probably a cleaner design. The operation returns array of intersection lines. So you need to add all of them to the 2D display the way you currently do

C++ version of the sample has little more code and options. The method should be clear. It is documented in help. I hope we will update VB .NET soon too

Regards
Nick
