I have a new predicament.
I have two surfaces of importance. One is EG. The other is the required beach design (REQ).
On the cross sections, I want to trim REQ where it intersects with EG.
In the past I have accomplished this by using MINIMUMDISTANCEBETWEENSURFACES to find the intersection, and then using that pline as a boundary on the REQ surface.
The issue this time is that REQ is drefed into the drawing which is not allowing me to add a boundary.
The options as I see it are this:
- Promote REQ in the current drawing
- this is bad because I would like to keep the dynamic link that the dref provides
- Put the boundary on REQ in the source drawing
- this is bad because we need the full, projected design for a few other sheets.
- Find a new way to trim/hide the portion of the section that I dont want to see.
- this is why i am posting to the forums
Does anyone know other ways to accomplish this? Surface masks were intriguing at first, but it looks like they only affect the plan view.
Below figures explain the issue visually.
Fig. 1: End Product Example. Notice how REQ (and the dashed tolerance above it) terminate at EG.
Fig. 2: Current Section. Red box around the portion of REQ that should be trimmed/masked.
