Section Orientation by 2 Points
To access this dialog:
-
In the Sheets control bar, 3D folder, right-click the Sections sub-folder, select New, click in the 3D window to define 2 section reference points.
-
In the Sheets control bar, 3D folder, Sections sub-folder, right-click a section object, select Set Plane | By 2 Point.
-
Activate the View ribbon and select 2 Points.
The Orientation dialog is used to define the orientation of the section when it is being defined by 2 end points.

Field details:
Orientation: Three orientation options:
-
Horizontal: define the section orientation so that it passes through both digitized points, but is aligned horizontally with respect to the 3D world coordinates.
-
Vertical: define the section orientation so that it passes through both digitized points, but is aligned vertically with respect to the 3D world coordinates.
-
Perpendicular: define the section orientation so that it passes through both digitized points, but is aligned perpendicularly with respect to the normals of the bisected surface.
-
Auto align section: to automatically align the view with the new section definition, select this, otherwise leave it unselected to leave the view position and orientation as it is.
Note: you can change the default auto alignment setting for all projects using the Options >> 3D >> General screen. See 3D Options.
