Hi,
Many moons ago, when our company first started using AutoCAD for 3D models, we used to check ship's engine room pipe runs, by temporary slicing the engine room at certain positions with a specific view depth of about 1 m....
For instance every 2m (longitudinally) to the boat, we would "slice" the engine room and have a view depth of one metre.....and could see all sections of that engine room in that slice, especially the pipes, but not what went beyond one-metre depth. Fully able to get X-Y points of the pipes at each 'inspection' slice...etc.
As it's been so long, I would like to use this method to inspect a conveyor assembly cross-section at a specific point for a depth of 1 metre (so nothing is visible beyond that one metre)...I need to take exact measurements, but for the life of me, I can't fully remember the terminology or method used.
Also, the conveyor is rising 4.5 degrees and I need to be on a viewing plane perpendicular to the actual conveyor, not world UCS, if that makes sense.....as if I was looking directly along the conveyor...
Can anyone put me straight on how to achieve this....and I hope the above made some kind of sense.
Cheers.
