If I understand you right, you would like the section drawing to be extracted in the same 3D location. This is possible using ExtractClippingSections command (it is history enabled), but otherwise is somewhat static and without background projections. Is that what you need?
Just posted this:
I would love seeing such possibilities (same dynamic as ClippingDrawings) in place. This will eliminate discrepancy between coordinates of real 3d model and ClippingDrawing result (also mentioned in your great tutorial above at 1:30:00).
How hard is it to implement?
I added it to the list and looking into prototyping in the WIP soon. Would you expect the background to be extracted as well? I suppose we can give the user that option, but perhaps it will be more common to set AddBackground=No
@rajaa With all respect, I would like to see the option for AddBackground=Yes too, since we already have such option in ClippingDrawings.
Out of curiosity, why it’s not intended to be in V8? It’s just a small option to the already existing huge functionality of the ClippingDrawings. I understand it could be more under the hood development to it, but it’s not the whole new functionality, just an extra option.
I can see how this would be useful in V8, but we’re usually hesitant to add changes that involve new features and create file I/O changes, as the case will be with this addition. Also, it will need some testing and to be sure it works as intended and doesn’t break existing files.
Correct, this is a V9 feature.
