How to create or move a sectionplane to the origin

[Karol-Or]

I wanted to create the sectionplane at the top orthographic view but when i selected that it was created somewhere else.

Now i want to move it to coincide with the XZ plane of the UCS. i pause the mouse on the red, z, line and start to drag, but when i enter coordinate 0,0,0 it remains in place.

How to tell it to move to z=0?

Select the section plane, make sure the property window is on, then you can change the X/Y/Z in the property window.

Delete the section plane object.

Thank you very much Alfred!

How do i set the sectionplane not to cut the solids?

I just want to project the sectionplane onto a solid's face.

I don't understand your needs, if you want to create a section you need the sectionplane at the level of the section.

If you don't need a section you don't need a sectionplane.

A sectionplane can't be projected (at least I don't know what the result of a projected sectionplane should be).

Oh, moment ... do you want to create a section block but not display the original object like it was sliced by the sectionplane?

In that case

• select the sectionplane, open the property window and turn off "Live Section"
• use command _SECTIONPLANETOBLOCK ... is that what you are looking for (>>>details<<<).
