Hello! Thanks for the answers recently!
I was half expecting this… Allright, but having to place 2 points AND a position is one click too much. Position is already given by the 2 points.
I like the way Archicad does this (or Revit, or…)
Sure! Like this (VisualArq this time):
Regarding ClippingDrawing:
- It’s important that the objects(!), not their bounding box, stay in place!
Say you have some layout, with 2D elements on top of a Detail,
…then you add some 3D parts,
… and update the ClippingDrawing. The content moves:
Not so good… Don’t underestimate this please!
You might know that VisualArq has a PlanView and SectionView feature. Do basically the same thing as your section tools, but they do this right - 2D objects stay put.
Not to talk about Archicad or Revit, where there’s an extra 2D environment/sheet between 3D and layout space (floorplan/section view). We don’t have such a thing (yet), so we need to be clever about how a Detail ‘looks into’ the 3D scene.
Since we are talking about it: Make2D has this nasty habit, too, of placing it’s 2D extraction to some random location, which even changes anytime the 3D objects change.
And will it make any difference if I use Make2D or ClippingDrawing (with borders on) for a 2D drawing?
- Something else: the hatch direction of the 2D extraction should be the same as in 3D, right?
Thank you!
