Panel Cut for only one Panel

Is it possible to have a panel cut only show the results for one panel which it cuts through;?

Select that panel and open it in the new window or click right mouse button and select Display for selection from context menu.

Thanks for the quick reply,

Is it also possible to examine the diagram analysis for only the one panel?

The integral/average values are impacted greatly by the other panels, unfortunately.

My particular case is examining panel cuts through a foundation raft slab underneath a concrete core - panel cut is cutting through the walls as well as the foundation

Thanks

Hi @ByrnePM

Regarding your questions

Is it also possible to examine the diagram analysis for only the one panel?

Yes Diagram analysis is presented for selected panels.

The integral/average values are impacted greatly by the other panels, unfortunately.

Use smoothing within a panel (or no smoothing) to reduce that effect.

Thanks again for your reply,

Just to help explain my query please see below snips

1 - Foundation under core with panel cuts

2 - Diagram analysis view for SC2 - MID NS

You can see in Diagram analysis view that the core walls are being cut by the panel cut and are thus being capture in the overal integral/average results for this cut

Is there a way to just have the cut indicate information for the foundation panel?

Thanks

Try to select required panel (foundation) before Diagram analysis generation.
