I have a plan view on a page and created a vertical and horizontal section line using "Insert Section View on Page".
How do I create a section that is at 45 degrees?
If I rotate the model 45 degrees I get the section I want but lose the original horizontal and Vertical sections!

Re: TechDraw angled section
Angling the base view is the only way I know of. So you'd need one base view for the ortho sections and a different one for angled sectiongsandy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 12:15 am I have a plan view on a page and created a vertical and horizontal section line using "Insert Section View on Page".

If this is a common requirement, it would make a good Feature Request.
Re: TechDraw angled section
Wouldn't that require to place the object twice, so that it becomes clear where section A is actually sectioning the object?

Attached is what I am trying to do. But when I do one section I lose the other!

Re: TechDraw angled section
Does the bullet shape work now? Last I remember, it wouldn't make a projection.
I think you're stuck with using separate BaseViews for each Section for now. Don't know if that violates any standard practices.
You're the second person to ask for this. That means a Feature Request is in order.

The bullet shape does work now. The curve was made from a B Spline, I replaced it with an arc and that fixed the problem of not making a projection.
I will let you make a feature request as I don't know how to do that.
